Description of the problem	After taking my 2011 hyundai sonata in for engine recall my steering wheel is now making noise and it moves to the left on its own now. Also my right axle is leaking grease and the car has about 69,000 miles on it. I bought it new. Hyundai dealer said the noise is coming from a coupling and would cost 270. 00. They also said it was not part of the recall for steering column intermediate shaft which i took the car in for when that recall came out. I dont know what they do or if they do anything when they supposedly look at your car due to a recall. My car was doing great when i took it in for the recalls until the last time. Also when i took my car in for engine recall my oil dipstick was yellow. But now i have an orange oil dipstick. Back to the part about the steering noise it makes noise sitting still and moving and sometimes it gets louder if the road is not as smooth. Also how do they know it is the coupling and not something else such as what the recall was for when they just listened to my car and not inspect it to be sure. The coupling should have been included in the recall and if not it needs to be recalled. This sounds dangerous. The noise also gets louder when i turn the wheel while driving. Sometimes it sound like the car is rattling and sometimes sounds like a shock absorber starting to go bad.
