Steering intermediate shaft?

[first&lastKJ]

It's very simple to replace. There is one bolt at the top under the dash, one at the bottom, near the steering rack, and the two going through the driver's side fender well that hold the stabilizer bracket. Then remove it from inside the engine compartment. It really is simple.
Just make sure you tie the steering wheel to one or both grab handles. Once the shaft is removed the steering wheel will turn freely so if you turn the steering wheel or bump it and it spins too far it will break the clock spring.

Hello guys ,

I started to hear some WHINE OR GROWL noise on my steering after some Serious Sand dunes off-road trips, it only happens when turning to left.

have no idea what is that ,sounds like something is dry and need to be lubricated

i have checked under the hood ,found one hose connected to bump and it looks wet on the rubber part and near metal connection a bit of oil is there.

Steering oil level in reservoir is fine ,no oil under car when parked for a while.

Appreciate your help guys.

BR,
Tawfik

Hi Tawfik,

I had a growling from my steering that turned out to be a leaking high-pressure hose in the power steering. If it only happen on left turns, though, then it may be something else, like a wheel bearing.

Where are you in the UAE? I'm in Discovery Gardens, Dubai.
