Description of the problem | A few weeks ago i noticed a popping noise coming from my steering area when i made turns. I took my car to my mechanic and he could find the actual part but knew it was coming from the power steering assist. After some research he found that a few people were having issues with the coupler inside the steering column. I have attached pictures of the the part looked like when he removed it. This is very concerning since i use this vehicle daily and transport my 2 kids to daycare. I put less than 10,000 miles on it each year since driving from home to my kids daycare and work put less than 10 miles on it a day. |
