Just fixed this in my car in a little under 1:45 minutes because of your video. Had trouble with the 3 inch bolt but managed to work it all out by separating the steering wheel and the steering shaft. Also disconnected the wires from the steering wheel that contain the clock spring for more leverage and room. Thank you for this video. I saved myself 400 bucks.

@@autopurlieu the clock spring goes out a lot too as they were part of a recall. I didn’t fall under the recall and did it myself in under an hour. You’d probably do it faster and could make a video about it. Thanks again, just subbed to the channel. You deserve the views.
Great info. Unfortunately, my motion sickness with this video was too much and I had to lie down and let the nausea pass. Some viewers will have trouble with that. Appreciate the model-specific video. Will be fixing my 13 GT soon.

The only thing missing, that i like a video to have, is a list in the video description of all tools/bits that are needed. For me, it just makes it so much easier to know if i have all the tools i need or if i need to buy anything. Especially since I'm no mechanic and dont have a shop full of tools. Not everyone has an extensive tool collection and are doing repairs to save money in these expensive days we live in. Otherwise great video and thank you for not being like a lot of other videos where they talk an hour about stuff that has nothing to do with the video or trying to throw in long stories. Seems a lot of ppl try to put way to much personslity into the video and double the watch time. Drives me nuts

Great video decided to fix mi e myself after watching your video thank you
Just fixed my daughter's car. Tips: 1) Getting the fuse box out of the way give you more room and isn't hard to disconnect/reconnect. 2) After getting the "nose" of the steering column into the square hole above the log 14mm bolt, putting the two 12mm bolts in place loosely keeps the steering column in place. After pushing the long 14mm bolt into place, lowering the tilt-telescope level gives some play for getting the 14mm bolt threads to engage with the captured nut.

У автора демпфер еще в хорошем состоянии. Я, когда обратился с проблемой в "гаражный" сервис.., говорили и о замене рулевой рейки, и рулевого вала, и о рулевых наконечниках.. По итогу, сам разобрал.. Правда на киа-сид блок управления стыкуется непосредственно к корпусу эл. усилителя. Вообще неудобно было открутить(одно крепление сломал). Словом кое-как добрался к демпферу. Одна труха осталась. Кое-как собрал, стоя пол-дня на корточках.. Но собрал!!.. Неделю ездил нормально, потом ошибка выскочила(эл. услитель не отключался при выключенном зажигании).. Откалибровал за 1000 руб. Теперь езжу.

anyone able to help me figure out where the power plug to the steering wheel computer is? after test driving, I realize my steering wheel doesn't center properly and I bleieve the power plug to the steering wheel control computer is not connected. But I can't find this plug!!
I have a similar issue with my 2016 Santa fe. The steering does have a little clicking sound when turning, but the most annoying is the vibrations at low speed on small bumps. The vibrations are felt in the steering wheel and the left side of the car. I went to a mechanic and he checked everything (tie rods, and all that stuff) everything is OK so the bushing is the last idea. What do you think ?

Just crank up the car and turn wheel side to side if you don't hear the clunking sound then replacing the coupler worked.
At one point in the video, before you put the steering shaft but up. It looks like the steering wheel is crooked from the shaft and then next thing you know it’s back in the correct orientation. I’m having a problem getting my steering straight with the shaft. How did you do it?
@autopurlieu

@@jessicadolci272 I think I forgot to mention in the video that the steering shaft must have a marker so it will go back in the same position.
Is easier when putting it back together to line up the 12mm bolts and slightly put the front two nuts back in just to hold it up and then get that 14mm back bolt back in

Is every connector different? Any risk of accidentally plugging the wrong connectors together? Also, how can you make sure the steering wheel stays straight when removing and re-installing?
@autopurlieu
Жыл бұрын
All connectors should a slight different . You shouldn’t have to worry about mismatching connectors . Before you fully remove any in steering . Make sure you put a mark on both ends of the shafts so you can put them back in as close as possible to where it was
There needs to be a class action lawsuit for this issue. It is happing far too often and makes driving quite dangerous. My 2013 Hyundai Elantra has this issue and I’m fixing it this week. There is a chemical reaction happening between the lubricant in the motor or assembly and the coupling washer. Clearly the engineers didn’t evaluate the rubber material or the lubricants used in the motor or the vendors may not have been supplying the correct material. It probably should be Viton. The coupler on mine was as soft as chewing gum and had to be scraped/brushed out of the housing.

Could that part be causing the car to pull right by itself when I release the steering wheel for a moment? my i30 is doing that with summer and winter tires plus it got checked by the official Hyundai service center and several other service centers and what they did is they replaced one bearing and all bushings plus they reset the wheel sensor, but the problem remains. They said that they don't have a clue. I feel like the steering wheel is not moving like before and as you described sometimes it moves by itself when hitting the breaks.

@autopurlieu yes I disconnected the battery first. The only connector I haven't replaced is the airbag. I'm 6'6 and I couldn't physically access the area under the steering column with it still connected. When I was removing the 12 mm bolts that hold up the steering column, the tilt lever came apart and I'm not sure how the lever, 2 washers, the metal tension thing that's got that hook shape and the weird black plastic w/silver pieces washer shaped thing were put together. So I haven't reconnected it yet. I tried to find a schematic or something to shoe me but I couldn't find anything online. I was up until 5 am working on it and now I'm gonna hit the auto parts store and hope someone there knows how it goes together. That lever being off, when I was trying to position the column to reinsert that long 14 mm bolt, caused me to inadvertently pull the steering wheel and top portion of the column completely out of the bottom half column. I quickly got it back together and finally got the long bolt back in. After that, everything went quickly and easy with the exception of the tilt lever
