I’ve done this particular repair 6 times. I love coming back to this video for a quick refresher. Very detailed, very professional. 👍🏾

Wow just I have to say’ this girl is absolutely amazing she explained everything as a pro she is. I did it myself just in 45 min and the results was wonderful everything work perfectly and smooth. The little piece of plastic was literally blended. The only thing that was terrible was put back on the super heavy steering driver wheel. That sucks with almost 45 pounds to hold in the installation. Thanks guys to expend time teaching people doing it by their own. Congrats from Arizona USA

Due to the many recalls Hyundai has issued for the Sonata, mine was replaced at no charge because it was covered by the extended warranty. It was done early this year.

Replaced the piece on my wife's car. Took about 3 hours for a novice and a couple breaks in between. The hardest part was get the colum back in position after replacing the piece. Once put back together the steering felt amazing and new.

Excellent video. Such a common problem makes you wonder why such a cheap part was ever used.? Very labor intensive.

One of the most detailed, documented, and well explained repair videos I've seen on any component.

Girlfriend's Sonata has been clicking for MONTHS. I wouldn't even answer her phone call if she was driving. Video it's fantastic. Took me an hour, and I didn't pull steering shaft all the way out of vehicle. I simply leaned it on floor. Sound fix. $17 fix. Thank you!!!

Just did my Sonata tonight. Your video was a great help and I was able to do it start to finish in an hour and a half. Thank you.

Thank you so very, very much. I am in my 70's with back, spine and hip problems. It has taken me a couple days doing 0a little at a time but I got it. You are so precious. Thank you so very much.💞

Video saved me about $340 from a shop. Mine was absolutely shredded and unrecognizable (previous owner says it went bad at about 97k miles. It was at 160k when I replaced it so it’s been getting smashed around in there for quite some time) steering is perfect and smooth now though. Thank you for the clear guide!

I took mine apart just to see that nothing was wrong with mine. The one I already had was completely different (like the one in the thumbnail) from the one i got offline. The one I got offline may have caused an issue in the future because its alot thinner than the original. Did anyone have any issues with the steering wheel not being centered after completing this?

Thank you for the video! Took me about 1.5 hours start to finish. 20 minutes of that time spent cleaning out the shredded sticky mess of the old coupler! Did not disconnect the steering knuckle and dropped it down on a block of wood to stop the column from twisting while lowering making it easier to access and separate the electric motor to access the coupler. Fairly easy job overall.

Another fine idea from automakers. I would agree that this is a well shot video. I have been an automotive tech over 50 years. The only thing I would add is to make sure if you have the front wheels off the ground that they also don't move or the clock spring will be ruined. It is always best to put the wheel's straight ahead so you know where you were at when you took it apart and if the steering doesn't lock exactly in the middle you can always rotate it slightly when you're trying to line it up. You can always take a soft Rag and a piece of wire and lock the steering wheel in the general area also. If worse comes to worse you can always remove the clockspring and wind it gently to one side and then back to the other and find Center as long as you don't force it at its stops you won't hurt it. One last thing, very important , I would always put blue Loctite on the pinch Bolt and it's not a bad idea to put some on the mounting bolts also. It isn't that much longer to remove the column and work on it on the bench but you can also do it in the car under the dash it's just a little harder on the body. Really it's not even necessary to remove pinch bolt and shaft you just got to be careful remove the fusebox lay steering wheel gently down on the seat don't break any of the switches and you can repair it in the car that way you don't have to unhook any of the wiring on the steering column just got to be careful not to break things

great video. i have been meaning to do this for a while and finally got around. in my case the previous coupler turned into this tar like residue. why they did not use a better plastic like nylon which is usually the material of choice for couplers like this? ps. you left out the part where the column gains 100lbs when lifting it back into place.

What will happen if that plastic gear melt?car won't start or can't steering?

I replaced my coupler today, this video was helpful. I didn’t disconnect the steering column shaft. Instead I removed the necessary wiring and let the column drop. I used a 1x4 board from floor to seat and allowed the steering wheel to rest on it so it didn’t completely drop to the floor. I then removed the torx bolts and did the part swap. A little tight, but doable. 187K on my car and surprisingly the coupler didn’t look that bad, hardly any debris. But once everything was back together, I could immediately tell a difference, the steering play was gone. Seems like every harness connector is different and some were a puzzle to disconnect. A couple had me stumped which cost me time. Hardest part was putting the column back in. Even with the metal hook it was difficult to lift it up into place while I was half outside the car and upside down. One tip: when I removed the motor I immediately marked the gear with a marker so if it rotated I could put it back to the original position when reassembling. If it gets turned to much there will be a code because the position sensor is off. Mine is all done, no codes, no play, success. About 3 hours.

I’m in the middle of this project on my 2011 Sonota. Coupler was reduced to just the hub as shown in this and other online videos. My biggest problem so far was lifting that steering column up and into place to get one nut started. That thing is heavy, awkward, and there’s no room to work. I watched other videos where they did not undo the spline and take the column assembly to the bench. I replaced the coupler with the column still inside the car. My column has a hook to aid in lifting the column into place, but again very heavy to lift and awkward. Ended up using some wood blocks to support the column to within less than an inch to use the hook. I was not able to get the passenger side bolt to catch so I’m leaving it out and lock-tighting the two nuts and one bolt. My next issue is the harness for the air bag connector (yellow) now doesn’t seen long enough to allow me to snap into place. Took a break for the night. Finish up tomorrow.

I brought my 2012 to the dealer to have this slight clunk checked-out. Dealer said there is nothing wrong, thus, I have to pay the diagnostic fee. I purchased the part from a Kia dealer for less than $5. I did mine by myself sometime last year and only took me 2 hours. I just dropped the steering column, opened the motor and replaced the coupler. The only challenge was lifting the column where it is supposed to be. I just used a floor jack and a block of wood. Steering position never changed at all. It saved me a lot of money too.

However, the steering column still seems tightly secured to the frame. I do not know if I should worry to much about it.
