  1. Same issue with an old 90's VW Jetta. Told the guy to replace the whole unit if he can still find it …. rather not drive long distance or high speed. If that U – joint snaps off u dont have control of the steering and might smash into oncoming traffic

  2. My car just started doing this.. 😢 is been making a noise off and on like this if I go over too many bumps after I had an outer tierod go and had it fixed …

  3. “Listen closely for the sound it makes,” he says. Then someone begins playing music in the background.
    Seriously?

  4. My 2012 mitsubishi rvr doesn't start with push button n says immobilizer service repair required. Towed to mitsubishi dealership to check. They said everything shows OK except steering column not sending computer signals n need to be replaced with brand new one cost around 3000.
    Is there any possibility of repairing.
    Replaced an used one. But couldn't programme

  5. Mine does it whens its stationery only, would it most likely be the same problem? I don't get any sound when turning the wheel while driving, been like this for about a week now.

  6. I have the exact problem, anyone know if these are known to break? I don't want to replace mine unless there is risk of death/severe injury.

  7. My Tucson is 6 years old with only 65,000km. The Hyundai dealer told me I need to replace the steering shaft due to wear and tear. Is it normal to replace steering shafts after only 6 years?

  8. I drive a 2008 Toyota Yaris, when i speed up in the highway, the entire car and steering wheel vibrates🙈 but when I slow down,it drives smooth again. But soon as I begin to speed up,it will vibrate extensively again.
    Any ideas what the problem could be?

  9. Great video Thanks!
    On my 2015 Nissan murano sl 115k miles when I'm going straight I hear a low clunk noise on driver side front end.
    If I turn the wheel to the left / counter clockwise the clunk noise goes away.. Just curious your thoughts?
    Thanks.

  10. My malibu doing this for a while now. Scared to drive it. Replaced struts because I was told that was probably it. Still makes this sound. And lots of play in the wheel. This will be my next project, I hope it fixes the issues.

  11. This what mines does and I learn hands on so I been fixing my car my self
    I got all the tools I need now.
    Being a handy mechanic is good.
    Wish I learned it earlier in my teens
    One of the most things used in the entire world now are cars

  12. Hello I just replace my steering shaft on my 2006 Malibu I replace the same way because I had my steering wheel wrap with the seatbelt
    Anyway my steering wheel is off center now do I need alignment

  13. I changed the shaft and with the truck off there a lil slack In the wheel and it makes a noise at the u joint knuckle where the upper connect to the steering wheel ut its brand new so why does it make a noise is it normal since its a connection and its moving? I'm sorry not good at this kind of stuff

  14. I’ve got a 2014 Ford Raptor , when I turn the steering wheel to the left only to the left there is a binding grinding noise felt inside the steering wheel . It happens at stop or slow speed or when at angle upwards
