There is a TSB on this. I’ve fixed dozens of these things. Once you do a couple of them, you’ll knock these things out in less than an hour. Remove the steering column in one piece, including the wheel. Do not remove the wheel. Once removed, set the column on the wheel on a bench. Take the box apart, replace bushing, and throw it back in. Parts house has it in stock. Looks like old K’nex toys piece, or an asterisks. Easy money, bro!

It sounds like several people have come up with a diagnosis, hoping you do a follow up, part 2 so we can find out if they're correct, and the car gets fixed. The steering motor coupler they're talking about kind of explains both the clunking noise and the sticking steering. Let's see how it all turns out.

As always, I really appreciate your videos and honesty. It takes a person of integrity to be forthright and completely on track! Especially with U Joints, a failed bearing's noise travels down the metal of the shaft, to make it seem like the U joint was bad. TBH, that component is probably more likely to fail than the bearing, therefore you did the proper troubleshooting based on what part could possibly be the problem. Now with that out of the way, you can continue with your diagnostic and find the true culprit that was hidden. Good... no, GREAT video. thank you again and hope to see a followup of your outstanding troubleshooting.

Once a rear stabilizer bushing wore out, the other was a front swaybar link.....The tech took the car both times to an empty ball park parking lot and drove sideways across the parking spaces. The dips in the pavement parked cars created over years makes vehicles shimmy and dip enough that suspension noises come to the forefront 99% of the time! I thought it was genious! Hope it helps.

Hyundai had a recall on the bearings in the steering column on my wife’s Hyundai.

I think we who have worked on cars will have plenty of stories about wonderful repairs that repaired the wrong thing.

And this is why I wish you were a lot closer to me. you would be my mechanic of choice always. You just can't beat a honest guy who admits he missed the mark. This is why you are one of the best. I am sure you will make it right for this customer and not take him to the cleaners over a miss. Which by the way happens to all of us as you well know. Keep up the great work Mister.

Gee Ray, if you didn't make mistakes it wouldn't be a fun challenge to watch where you might forget or over look something! That keeps it interesting to see if we would go about doing the repairs in the same order. In the early 2000's, GMC and Chevrolet truck and SUVs would develop a clunking in the steering wheel. It was fixed by replacing the steering column bearing just above where the steering extension shaft was attached to the steering wheel shaft.

Another good, great unedited video of problems in which any of us face & are willing to tackle, a DIFFERENT JOB. Yes a JOB of elimination some Times.. Well Done to show "TRUTH" Ray.

That sucks, Ray. But, we're humans and it happens to all of us. It takes a pretty big person to post a video of themself failing. You'll fix it and everything will be fine.

Stupid rubber bushing in that electronic steering assist. Not hard to replace. All of them fail.

yea, even the best make mistakes but the definition of integrity is doing the right thing when no one is looking. You sir, have an ample supply of integrity. It sucks to be wrong but it feels good knowing that you did the right thing. Round of applause 👏👏👏👏.....

Mad respect for you owning up to a misdiagnosis Ray. That is one of many things that makes you a top tier mechanic and one Hell of a man. I feel bad that you had to eat that repair, but I know you will do right by the customer. Have a better day brother.
