We have seen a few Hyundai models with a steering knock problem at our workshop recently. It is a common issue for i30, i40, Santa Fe, Elantra, and Veloster, and it usually happens after the manufacturer’s warranty period has expired.
The cause for the steering knock is that a star-shaped bush, within the electronic power steering motor, has deteriorated. The worn-out bush loses its gears, which stops it from meshing correctly. If left unattended, it can cause excessive wear in the motor, leading to a costly repair.
First, we remove the dash panels and the steering column assembly. Then, we dismantle the power steer motor assembly, replace the faulty bush and reassemble the vehicle. Next, we test and carry out the reset procedures with a scan tool. Finally, we road test the car to ensure the steering knock is fixed.
