Steering Column buying guide
Why replace this part?
The steering column connects the steering wheel to the rack through an intermediate shaft and universal joints. Worn column joints cause clunking, notchy steering feel, and imprecise response when turning, particularly at low speed.
Signs you need a replacement
- Clunking or knocking when turning the steering wheel at low speed
- notchy or rough steering feel
- play in the steering wheel
- vibration felt through the wheel
- steering wheel tilting unintentionally
When to replace
No fixed interval — inspect universal joints for play. Replace when wear is detected.
