Intermediate Shaft Fixed
Hi all,
Was searching a lot on here over the past week and saw a few posts on this, but they were a little confusing. (This deals with the rattle/ clunking problem in the steering column)
Took my car in several months back and was told I needed ST001-06 (Replacement of the Intermediate Shaft). Cost was $700. I decided NOT to do it.
I called around and another Toyota dealer told me about T-SB-0296-08 which is basically a good grease job on the steering shaft. I was a little skeptical that this would fix it (and the price was still really high at Toyota. This TSB is supposed to replace 001-06. I shopped around and found a shop that did it for $220.
I am happy to say that it worked! Thought I would let everyone know in the event you were about to go the $700 route! I can't guarantee that this will fix everyone's vehicle, but mine was definitely rattling and clunking about as bad as it gets. Steering feel is great now.
Hope this helps! I also have the docs on BOTH TSBs but it seems this forum has no way to upload them.
