My steering problem still isn't fixed as yet. I spoke to another mechanic and he advised me to check the joint/ knuckle on the steering column to see if it is secure. How can I access this and how do I go about it without damaging anything or triggering the SRS.

anyone?

 

Can anyone shed some light please.

 

You should be able to see that joint by looking up under the dash. It is a U-joint to allow tilting the wheel, so it is where the column pivots rather than right up at the wheel. There's another U-joint under the hood right where the shaft from the wheel connects to the steering rack.

Looks like you'll have to remove the cover (part #3 in the drawing) to see the interior joint.

 

Ok, I found the one under the dash but that one seems ok. How do I go about the one under the hood? Andare there anythings that I should/ should not do as precaution?
