Hyundai Veloster - Fix clicking steering wheel
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 05. 2020
- I show how to fix the clicking steering wheel by replacing the steering coupler. This is a common problem with Hyundai/Kia vehicles and a fix that is not difficult. The coupler can be purchased from a variety of places online for about $5. I bought mine on Amazon and it was called a 'APDTY 112837 Flexible Steering Coupler'.
VERY IMPORTANT POINT...
Prior to re-inserting 14mm screw, make sure to raise rear of steering column FIRST and carefully insert rear lip of column into square which can be seen after 16:07. You will know when it's properly inserted because the rear will stay up while you're still holding front using steering wheel. Next twist on both 12mm nuts just enough to hold front of steering column.
NOW... you can install 14mm screw. It might be necessary to push straight up a little from bottom rear.
Tighten 14mm. And FINALLY, you can tighten both 12mm nuts.
Sorry, for long comment, but this extra attention will definitely make life better for you.
Additional note... There are a total of 5 plug-ins attached to the steering column.
Good points, thanks for the comment.
Your tip was extremely helpful, thanks for sharing
Lo leí tarde, pero la intuición solucionó el problema jajaja
How long can I drive with this problem
@@mardanm5465 I don't know how long you can drive with this problem. BUT, I know you will spend more time researching the answer to your question than you will spend actually fixing it.
Dive in.
What a PITA to replace this tiny part!
Thank you for going through all this trouble and recording it all to help the rest of us poor souls who have to do this :)
Dude two years later and you are still helping people out. Just finished and way better than having to drop it off at the repair shop. My daughter uses her car for school and work. This saves a lot of stress trying to find out how she would get place to place. Thanks a lot.
I’m glad I could help.
As a person who is having this issue currently, you're a lifesaver. This video is extremely detailed for what you need to know and is at a perfect pace.
Thanks a ton.
My mechanic said I need to buy a $600 shaft plus labor you saved me a lot of money thank you 🙏
I followed the instructions in this video step-by-step, and fixed it myself in less than an hour and a half! Thank you for your help and for posting this video!
Worked like a charm! About 2 hours time from start to finish. A couple of key points:
- the 14mm is a beast. I used my long torque wrench to break it loose.
- it helps to have someone give you a hand to get the steering wheel back in place.
- it’s easier to disconnect the battery *after* you remove the two screws on the steering wheel shroud.
Thanks again for the video - saved me $400!!!
Just did this repair this weekend - The original had disintegrated to the point it was more rubber goo than particulates, very hard to clean. These instructions made the replacement a TON easier. Thank you!
This video was an absolute lifesaver! I watched it and decided that I didn't feel comfortable doing the work; but after contacting my local dealership and finding out they wouldn't be able to fit me in for 3 weeks, I changed my mind and committed to tackling it on my own last night. Without your video and step-by-step instructions, I'd probably still be under the steering column right now. It was arduous but definitely doable; and your video made that so much more possible. Ku-friggin-dos!
(If you have a means to get it, I'd love to buy you a coffee as a small way to say thanks again!)
Glad it helped, I might take to you up on that coffee.
This video was perfect, thanks for taking the time out of your day to record yourself while you did the job, and actually show good angles on how to reach things and good tips throughout. Just did the job myself and my steering is much better than before. NO MORE CLICK or looseness
Glad to hear it helped!
Incredible tutorial. Thanks for being so thorough and not skipping things with assumptions.
The kids yelling in the background makes this an authentic situation haha.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I just did this last weekend and your video saved me so much fumbling, googling and second guessing myself. Fantastic tutorial, I really appreciate you getting your phone in there to show us what exactly needs removed and replaced.
You’re welcome! I’m glad people are still finding it useful.
My dealership where I got my Veloster from wanted to charge my $400 to replace this. So thank you so much for posting this. It helped a lot
Worst part: the part is $5 from Amazon
This is actually a hidden recall. I have an 2013 Optima and the steering went away. Complained and threatened to sue them. They did the repair for free. Problem is, they used the same crap part and the problem is back a year later.
@@ninj4geek just went to the dealership & paid $1.18 for the piece.
Thank you so much for this video.. I was seriously scared my steering would lock up while driving, but a few of you said you had this issue for a year before fixing. That calms my nerves tremendously.
Thank you
I think it was close to two years before I fixed this. It won't fall off, it's fine. Just annoying 😂
This is a great video.
Another topic for future video would be getting that column back in straight, as it's not straight forward for people that don't do this every day..
For any uninformed comment readers (similar to me):
I didn't realize there was a notch to insert at the end of the column next to the 14mm bolt to help realign the 14 mm bolt. It made getting the column in straight easier.
Just want to add my thanks for this great video! Got it done, saved money, and car feels great now. Was hesitant because of my vertigo when lying on my back, but put a pillow under my head in the floorboard and got 'er done. Thanks again!
I'm glad my video is still helping people out!
I have 2012 Veloster in automatic, from Germany, and also experience clunking noise in the steering. I bought the coupler, started dismantling the steering column as per your instructions. Following them closely, really helped a lot. So big thanks for your effort making it! Funny enough, I did not have the metal bracket, you show in 5:30. I also did not have to disconnect all the plugged in cables, as only two of them prevented me from lowering the column. The 14mm bolt was a hard ride, as everyone described. I managed to carefully hammer the spanner on it towards the floor, to loosen it. Luckily it gave up and I could easily remove it. Reassembling wasn't that hard, and the column wasn't that heavy as expected. I lied on the floor, with the column on my chest and slowly began to lift it. I didn't realize, there was a special bracket in the back, to which the column is being inserted into - just behind the 14mm bolt. So I had to refit it. Once I inserted the column in the right position, I tightened it with the 2 x 12mm bolts by hand to hang above me securely yet still having some play. Only then I screwed in the 14m back in. Once, all was secured I probably spent most time on the two plastic covers behind the steering wheel, reattaching them together. All in all, it turned out, my coupler was in 95% ok, just slightly worn, (55k miles), yet I replaced it anyways. Unfortunately my clunking is still there, so I am worried about bigger service that will be needed. Probably steering rack is at fault.
Such a great video and instructions. Tried this today and everything went well UNTIL the 14 mm bolt. Super awkward position and need the right tools. I put everything back together and will have to have someone else do this.$$$ the dealer wants 500$.
Really appreciate this instruction though. Thank you!
Super helpful. Saved me hundreds of dollars and was the perfect pace and information! Thanks for making this video!
Great video. Saved me about $400 in shop repairs. I did have to remove the MOBIS airbag control module in order to get to the 14 mm bolt that’s tucked way the f back there. Since this is my first time loosening that bolt it was nearly impossible to break it by hand since it was factory torqued. Used a rubber mallet and tapped on it for about 2 minutes to gently start to break it. Used good ol’ elbow grease to finally release the bolt. Needed more room and removing the airbag module box was the only way. Good luck everyone.
I’m glad it worked out for you, great tips for folks looking to do the repair.
Great in depth, easy to follow video. Mine was way overdue and I was going to have Hyundai do it but it was surprisingly easy with the help of your video and only took me a little over an hour solo. Saved me a bunch of money, thanks 🙏🏼
Great job getting it done!
Fantastic video! Very thorough and easy to follow step by step... I ended up putting long 14mm bolt back in after the other two nuts up front when reassembling (found that easier for some reason) but great instruction. I wasn't going to tackle this one on my own but after watching the video it looked relatively easy. Thank a ton!!
I just did this repair yesterday. Getting the steering wheel mounted back into place was a little tricky I needed help lifting the shaft back into place. But other than that this video is spot-on and should be used anytime you need to fix this problem.
Hi sir what is name of the part please
I did this repair a couple of years ago. At the time, I could only find videos for the Elantra. The process is almost identical EXCEPT for the placement of that 14mm bolt. I almost gave up and put everything back together, but I finally found the 14mm bolt and managed to drop the column. As others have stated, it DEFINITELY helps to have an extra set of hands to help mount the column back into place.
And now my wife's Elantra GT is doing the same thing, so gearing up for round two. Lol.
I have same issue with 2020 Hyundai. Fortunately it's under warranty so I'll let them change it. However, your video was super informative. Thanks for not having background music. Someone else did a similar video and the background music was so bad, I stopped it half way through.
I also hate background music and unnecessarily long videos. I tried to make the video I’d want to see. I’m glad you liked it.
Thanks a lot ☺️👍🏻 the little piece costed me 5$ and putting back the 14mm was quite the challenge that made me feel taking a day off as a reward after that was well deserved 😘
i finally found the bolt that hinges the wheel that you had struggled to show on camera. both the bolt in the video and the one i removed in my 2012 veloster had the number "10" stamped on it. maybe that will help someone else locate it. excellent video. mine drives great now.
Glad to hear!
Wanted to jump back on this video and say thank you. I did this work this week and this video made it a breeze.
I’m glad you found it useful!
Thank you Sensei! I followed all your video and was very useful. My only problem was that when I removed the old rubber coupling it was in perfect shape. My car has 115,000 miles. The difference between the new and the old one was that the old one felt very soft so I changed it for the new one and the noice was reduced dramatically.
Thanks for the video. The column was tough putting back in place and it was also 106 heat index in Texas but I got that dang 14 mm back in place. You saved me some bucks sir and God bless. Be safe!!!!
I feel you, I’m Texan too. I’m glad you got it knocked out and saved some money!
Great video!!!! I just did that on my 2012 Hyundai Veloster step by step with your video!!! you are the best! Appreciate it ...
Just wanted to say thank you !! I fixed it now thanks to your video!
Glad to hear!
Please read all solo workers!
If you are doing this job solo when trying to put the 14mm bolt back in it’s easier to put the two 12mm nuts on to hold the top of the steering wheel and it’s easier to put that 14mm in. Overall it’s not that bad not not easy to fit down there and get stuff done.
Amazing video, god bless you!!
You sir, and the comments here, are truly gods amongst men. Saved me $300 😎😁
Outstanding presentation. Thank you so much for the effort. Thanks to your video, I just replaced the coupler on our 2014 Turbo. That 14 mm bolt is a beast...both ways. A few suggestions: Schematics of the Veloster steering column are available online. Also, I found it easier to remove and replace the trim behind the steering wheel without the lower trim piece in place. One more thing, after I removed and cleaned out the remains of the old coupler, I confirmed the alignment of the motor and the column assembly before I inserted the new coupler. Once I had them aligned, I inserted the couple about halfway so it would act as a guide as I replace the motor. And I definitely needed my son’s help to lift the steering column back in place.
Great instructions for replacing this part. Definitely a little tricky to get the steering column back in place so have another person help when doing that step. Thanks for making this video!
Fantastic how to video. Getting the column aligned and the bolt in place was a major p i t a but other than that this was a perfect fix. Thank you!
Super video. Just saved me hours trying to figure it out on my own!🤔
Mr. Frostcall...Ive just change the coupler, THANKS TO THIS VIDEO, to be hnest I struggled, lowering the sterring and back to, aaand closing the parts for the coupler... again thanks for saving me a LOT...greetings from LA
Excellent step-by-step! Thank you!
Great video!! I am going to have to pay to have this done but I'm so happy to know why my steering wheel was clicking.
Great Video! About ~2 hours from start to finish and voila repair was complete! Amazing $7.50 coupler part was needed to complete repair as you would think Hyundai would put in a better design and part here!! Thx again!
Done, very easy after watching this video, thanks and hello from Poland
@@radoslawkaklin3295 I’m glad it worked for you and saved you money!
Thanks again. I would like to add a few optional tips;
1. I found it easier to remove the plastic bottom housing prior to the removing the plastic bottom steering wheel housing. Once you get the bigger piece off, the smaller housing come off easier without having to wiggle it off.
2. It made life easier to just pull off the steering wheel after you remove the 2 12mm nuts. This would allow easier access to the 14mm AND the coupler it self. Reinstallation was much easier after I accidently pulled off the steering wheel. Lol
I just wanna say thanks for the thorough tutorial. I wouldn't have even known where to look for that piece without it. I've been living with that clunk for over a year. If you were here I'd serenade you with one of those old "Real men of genius" jingles, haha.
I’m glad it helped you!
Great video, I was able to do this by myself and save some money. I did have a wire that I don't see in this video (mine is a manual transmission so that may be why) It was a white plug with a blue tab on the right side of the column. You must remove the blue tab first. thanks for posting this video, I would have never tackled the job without this video.
Just got this fixed not 10 minutes ago! Had me worried it was a front end problem, so I checked it. Sure enough, ground up rubber coupling! Going to test drive it here soon and see, but the steering wheel is already tighter when I move the wheel. Thanks a bunch!!
I’m glad to hear it worked for you. My steering wheel felt brand new again after doing this.
Really! Today I fixed same issue & I followed up your pin points instructions. And I got great success. In your post you covered everything. This is called real help to the society. What I faced difficulties I explain. Take out 14 mm bolt and also locate. Coupler drum with T30 screws. T30 screw removal. Sunex 9726 Mini Ratchet and Bit Set, 1/8-Inch - 1/4-Inch S2 Bits, 5/64-Inch - 1/4-Inch hex bits, 38-Piece Silver.
This will help lot who want to work for the same issue. Once again thank you so much & Marry Christmas to you & your family.
Coupler I bought from Hyundai agency for $1.97 with tax
I’m glad the video was helpful. Thank you for the kind comment.
Merry Christmas!
Nice job man. Took me about 3 1/2 hours but fixed as noted. Thx for taking the time to make this video.
Awesome, I’m glad it helped. I’m not (and don’t want to be) some famous CZcamsr, but I really enjoy hearing that I’ve helped someone around the world. It really brightens my day.
Thank you for a great tutorial. You made it look so easy. I can’t believe I just finished it. It took me a couple of hours.
Thank you so much, I was about replace my steering rack to fix this...
Going to tackle this today. I will be referencing your video as I do this. I will let you know how it goes. Without this video I would probably be playing a mechanic to do it. Thanks for doing this great video.
You can do this. Some folks said lifting the steering wheel back into place is easier with a friend’s help. Keep that in mind if you have trouble.
@@Frostcall ended up being a nightmare. I replaced the part and was getting the steering column remounted...got the two front nuts in but when i reinserted the long bolt at the base I did not realize the column was not up into the bracket....i tightened the bolt, and then started to wonder why the base of the column was still not secure.....it was then i realized that from tightening that bolt without the column in the bracket....the bracket bent inward. Now that part of the column will not fit in the bracket....even after bending the bracket back out. Whats worse is the bracket is welded in. It can’t be replaced I imagine without a mechanic gutting out the inside of the car. Not sure what I can do.
@@Duojett71 Yikes. You might want to get some professional help to bend it back and get everything put back together.
@@Frostcall had it towed to a local shop. I hope they can fix the bracket. It was my careless mistake and hopefully someone will read this and not make the mistake I did. Video was great though and I in know way want to take away from that.
@@Duojett71 I pinned this comment as a heads up for people. I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you but hopefully others can take your thoughts into consideration.
Great Video...I paid $250 to get this done for a $12 part wish I seen this earlier lol
Mine was a $4 part. Costed me $200 with labor
What is name of the part please?
I'll echo the thanks for your excellent video!
It took me longer to clean the gooey old coupling spider remains than it did to either disassemble or reassemble all of the related stuff.
(2012 Veloster, manual, naturally aspirated, ~118,800 miles, didn't know cause and had been getting worse for at least 10k miles, no notable damage to coupling halves)
Thanks for the video.. took my son and I two hours without any real problems.. just sucks working under the dash for that long.. especially trying to get the steering column back up into place.. really need two people to do this effectively..
For reals. I just finish with mine 5 mins ago but getting that heavy ass steering column in a awkward position is such a pain. Sadly I was solo.
Thanks so much for this vid! It was pretty thorough and easy to follow. My dad & I did this yesterday. Hardest part was getting the column lined up to put the 14mm bolt back in. 🤬 No way I'm paying stealership hundreds to install a $5 part 😂 The two trips to the parts store, sore muscles today and missing football Sunday were worth it for the satisfaction of doing this myself. Definitely wouldn't have tackled this without this vid and someone else to help with the extra muscle. Thanks again!
SAME HERE, that damn 14 mm bolt was a pain to get back in place, had to get my little sister to hold up the steering column while I got it in!
2 yrs later this video still very helpfull.. i just did my 2018 elantra.. my coupler wasnt destroyed i just sprayed with dw40 and the click sound went away.
Saved me “around 400”. Thanks Broseph!!!
I’m glad you found it useful.
Thanks so much. I sent this video to my mechanic ❤
Awesome guide, thank you for this! I know I'm not skilled enough to attempt this on my own but at least now I'm positive what the issue with my '13 VT is!
Thank you! Was under the car looking for loose suspension and couldnt find anything. Now I know why.
I am about to get underway doing this repair by myself on my 2013 Veloster. The dealership can't get to it until August 15th, but they are confident this is the issue. I have a feeling I will need to use some solvent (it doesn't feel like there is any of that cushion left); it's probably gunky from Georgia summer heat. I'll make sure I grab some before starting. There were a few repair places that quoted 5 hours of labor and parts to cost between $450-$650.
Update:
The part and solvent was only $11, plus q-tips and a toothbrush. Mine was shavings and rubber goo as well. I was concerned about the harnesses so I just used little stickers and numbered them to match them up. Possibly an unnecessary step since there weren't many harnesses, but experience with engine and generator changes in the Air Force taught me it's worth a few extra minutes. I am waiting for a guy to come over to help me lift the column back up. I'm not as strong as I was 20 years ago. I underestimated how heavy it would be to get this back into place and bolt it.
Finished product! I was finally able to lift it back up myself. I had to take a break to rest my arms and cool off. It took the better part of an hour just cleaning that rubber from the parts.
No more clunking, no funky steering, and no play in the steering wheel. Thank you for this video, I can't imagine filming as I did this work! Thank you so much!
I think I underestimated how difficult lifting the steering column would be for a lot of people. I think I’m just used to lifting heavy things with my body in oddly contorted positions, and didn’t consider that not everyone is just like me. I’ll try to be more considerate of others in the future and point out where I think some might struggle. Best wishes!
Had the same issue with my 2012 Veloster, dealership wanted to charge me $350. Thank God for my extended warranty that paid for it. I think Hyundai needs to recall this issue with the Veloster just like they did with the Sonatas and Elantras
Yeah I asked the dealership for a trade in estimate and they said they'd have to dock $500 for this to be fixed. Fuck that
Thank you so much for this video. My 13 VT started having this issue and I seriously though tit was gonna cost me an arm and a leg to fix.
Thank you for this! So so useful and so informative. I followed along and easily fixed up my girlfriends car!
Mine is doing this 🤦🏻♀️ but it just got a new motor via recall and plus I put so much money in parts and my dad changed them for me and he's 71 idk what I'd do without him. I'm very thankful for him but I'm gonna give him a break before we try to fix this
GOD BLESS YOU SIR! the dealership is literally trying rob me over that part
Great guide, thank you! Saved me hundreds and it’s always more satisfying to fix it yourself, even though the damn 14mm bolt was a stubborn pain to get back in place. Easy to follow guide, not so easy in actual practice.
Yes, you need to get the rear of column situated. Start the 2 nuts then just wiggle the column as you thread in the 14mm. It's not bad if you have the steering column adjustment unlocked so you can move it how you need to.
you're an actual god. thank you
Just replaced this in my daughter's car. Video was very helpful! That 14mm bolt was a beeeotch!
Great video i'm having the same issue I'll be doing this next weekend thanks
Thanks so much for this video. My kid has exactly the same green veloster and had same problem with the steering wheel. Almost everything went smooth, if it wasn't for the very last trex bolt, it was stubborn.
I’m glad it worked out for you!
So....I did this and in the end it worked. But had a bit of a surprise. My steering wheel was a two piece and came apart when I pulled on it. It did finally go back together and was aligned properly, but I have a feeling I got lucky. The video was very helpful and I would not have attempted this without it.
What year model do you have?
Mine did the same thing but I should have checked alignment before putting everything back together 😩😩
Just a little heads up when you were taking the panel off by the door it hung up on you if you pull on the rubber seal around the door opening it will just fall off. Thanks for the video
Man thank you so much I have the same problem , now I know how to repair it you are awesome!!!
No problem, I’m glad you found it helpful.
awesome!!!!!!! now i can work on mine! ive been searching for this video for a while. very simple job to do.
Let me know how it goes for you!
I’ve never seen a veloster with a key before lol. Every one I’ve seen have been push button start. Very helpful though. 👍
PERFECT!!!! I have roght now same problem in my Hyundai i40 1.7 CRDi 2012. Thats a very nice car honestly. I am going to fix this problem on my own. Hopefully there will be no problem with air pillow later on :)
Nice video!! Definitely saved me lots of time looking into what was wrong
Blended Media I’m glad you found it useful.
Hello, thanks for taking your time and doing all this challenging task while filming. Can you please share the link where I can buy the rubber coupler please. FYI my car is a Kia Cerato 2012 and it is making a similar noise
Thank you !! This shit has been driving me crazy for months… I have a 2012 Kia Optima .. I appreciate you
Part just came in. I’m about to give this a go using your video tonight! Wish me luck!
Grab a friend to help you with lifting the steering wheel at the end.
I don’t understand, the EPS light and power steering light is on now
Anyway you could help, thank you
@@adriancontizano5316 something didn’t get plugged back in all the way. It could be a fuse or one of the plugs. Even if you know you plugged everything back in, unplug and then replug everything just like you were going to do it all again. Also check the fuses. Generally, it’s a plug that isn’t making a good connection.
@@Frostcall thanks frost, I’ll check it asap. I appreciate the help!
Who else was invested in the kids screaming in the background
Does this also work for the touch to start model?
Im glad to hear that kids still play outside and not stuck on there Nintendo switches 😂👍
Aaaamazing!! Thank you so so much. I will be ordering the part now and will be doing the work once it arrives. Again thank you!
Take your time, have a available to help with the steering column, and you can do this!
@@Frostcall is there any way you can help me with the steering wheel now acting up? It’s hard to steer, very hard to turn and this happened once I was done with this video. Not blaming this so please don’t get me wrong. I was just wondering if you knew anything about that? I’m told only a dealership can fix it. Also these vehicles don’t come with the power steering fluid anymore they’re electronic. Ugh it’s been that way in my garage for the past 3 months
@@lesterdonis4218 Sounds like power steering issue (which is what I think you were thinking too). If you plugged everything back in, I don’t see how it went bad other than coincidental bad timing. It happens unfortunately.
Thank you so much for this video man, gonna try this this weekend on my 2013 Veloster. Wish me luck !
When I started watching this video I was hoping it would be easier than replacing the tie rod end. Now I wish it was the tie rod end. Thanks for the video!
This was really good! thank you for teaching us how to do the job but also how to save money :)
Any time, glad to help.
Great video! Are you able to explain how the noise and broken coupler effect the car? Just wondering how long I can drive on it in this condition.
It’s the metal pieces inside touching and ‘clicking’ as they touch. I’m not sure how long you can go without causing damage. I went about 8 months before I was annoyed enough to change it and I didn’t see any damage.
Thank you for make this video, have the same issue on my veloster 2013 and I already finish the job on my steering wheel
I’m glad it helped!
Thanks mate, really helpful
Todo un profesional gracias amigo me sirvio de mucho saludos desde mexico tijuana.
Great vid man. Saved me a small fortune
Hi good. Video how you order on Amazon what's the name of the part
I MADE A MASSIVE MISTAKE
DO NOT UNLOCK THE WHEEL'S MOVEMENT LEVER.
That shit unlocked it from the steering spline and my whole steering wheel assembly came OFF!!! BE CAREFUL! not the mistake of the video, but the mistake of me!!! Amazing instructions here!
Truly appreciate this, thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you for this video. I was wondering what year your veloster is because mine is a 2012 and I have a key fob not a regular key?
@@mitchelljohnson7739 Mine was a 2012, I got it when they first came out.
Excelente video! Demasiado util para ahorrarse el dinero con mecanicos oportunistas 💪💪
