Thanks Sir this saved be big time.
Thanks. Awesome demo. That one screw behind the speedo was a "you know what" but I finally got it. Saved me some cash.
Thank you so much for this video. Bought the part and had it fixed in an hour! Thanks for saving me $400!
i think they just made it a recall a few days ago….not sure if the recall will cover my 2013 i have 120xxxmiles
update: the recall is for vehicles under 100,000 miles. however i just replaced mine thanks to your video! 2 dollar part
took me 1hr
my 7 year old help t me reaching the front bolt
lil hands work good…
Thanks Man! You made the impossible possible. Thanks for the time and trouble to make the video which saved me many $$$.
thank god that i found this video i was about to go the dealer and spend 500 in a new steering gaer my hyundai sonata sport 2015 is having the same problem with 37000 mil i hope i don't have to pay for the labor at the dealer.
why does that part go bad like that,
I wish I could do this, you show just how it can be done, all those wires, and plugs you pulled lets me see I wish I had went to mechanics school for cars. I wish you lived near me, lol. PA Dealer want 269 to replace a $1 part.
Thank you so much for posting this video! Best auto repair video I've seen. You saved me hundreds of dollars as well as dealing with a dealer or mechanic. That top bolt did test my patients though haha. Your video saved me time and money, and I learned a little along the way. Thanks again.
Awesome video! I did mine today, and the coupler was completely mangled (http://imgur.com/U2JWRps). My issue now is that while the car cranks and the steering works great, none of the instrument panel or stereo works (Aside from the door ajar indicator). Any tips?
EDIT: I had forgotten to reconnect the main power connector on the back of the fuse box. works great now. thanks again
thanks man did this for a friend of mine your video was awesome
Thanks for the great video! But I have a question. I must have incorrectly wired the fuse box wrong and now that I did it the right way, none of the electrical in my car works (windows,stereo, and speedometer) any advice on what is could be ? Maybe blown fuse?
thanks for the video. it made it super easy.45 min and i was done
Just wanted to say thanks for the video. Changed it without a hitch.
Thanks for the post. This was extremely helpful. Slightly different breakdown of the dash trim on the Optima as to be expected, but otherwise very straight forward. This bad coupler in conjunction with wheels out of balance equaled death rattle for me at 65mph. With both fixed, feels like a new car.
thanks for this. just did mine in 20 minutes. worked like a champ.
Thank you for this, life saver.
best repair vid for this out there.
Great Video!
using this video and your other one, did mine yesterday in just under 2hrs taking my time. got a similar ratchet and torx bit from Menards. dealer wanted over $300 and looked at me funny when I said just give me the part. thank you for posting this video. my coupler was intact but much more bendable than the new one. I was having popping noises over washboard potholes and play in the steering wheel when turning left to right to left. drove about 20 miles so far on new coupler, and all is well. again, thanks for your video
awesome video. just finished replacing the coupler on our sonata and its back to silky smooth steering… also wanted to share a tip for getting the screw into the motor mount behind the cluster, without dropping it into any hard times reach spots back there… what I did was I took the screw, sent it down the finger in my work glove and punctured it through so the threads only stuck out. then I reached in and easily screwed it in. once done I just pulled and the rubber finger tore away perfectly…
hope this helps.
just fixed mine today, great video…get the 1/4" drive rachet as it helped a lot. like others the bolt behind the gauge cluster took the longest. The only other thing I had to get was some 1/4" t bits to fit the rachet. Works like new again.
