[@ivandiaz8421]

Appreciate it! This video helped me build confidence and was very helpful. I dropped steering column, pinned the coupler, replaced it, and but all back together. Pretty straight forward video. It sure saved me couple hundreds at the mechanic. $7 piece and about 2hrs. Car running and turning like new. Thank you very much!

[@jdryyz]

So this applies to the 2012 also? I have recently noticed my wife's 2012 Soul+ (53k miles) steering seems a little stiffer than usual. Thought it might be due to power steering fluid needing replacement but then learned there's a power assist motor in the Soul, not a typical hydraulic system. I have also noticed a slight clicking noise so I think I am at the beginning stage of this coupler problem.

[@albertomeraz7999]

Just did it thanks very helpful. Only thing I had hard time was the 14mm bolt in the back taking it out and putting it back in. But made it thru thanks

[@johncollins1418]

Well done- just did mine today- about 40 min job and that included running back and forth to the shop a few times. Only comment I can add is that I did not remove the wiring harness but instead, indexed where the motor aligned and just tuned the power steering motor to give access- mine is an auto trans so not sure if that matters

My 2013 Kia Cerato has this problem and I found your video really helpful. I can't fix it myself, and my mechanic told me it was a $30 part with $800-$1000 labour charge. He suggested I ask KIA because maybe they can do it for less. I guess I understand why now. Thanks.

[@solisapaul]

I’m glad you found my video as well, as you may or may not know some KIA models were recalled for this issue and it is a free fix via KIA dealership. Usually they will send out a mailed letter to the owners of these particular vehicles if you have not received that information I would call the dealership to see if your vehicle can be done for free as I said for (recall). As for mechanics unfortunately there’s real good honest mechanics but then there’s also not unfortunately. I truly wish you could have someone do it for you it truly is a somewhat simple fix and the part is only about five bucks on Amazon. I wish you the best stay safe.👍🏽✌🏽

[@katee4190]

Hi Casp72, can I ask for advice - I got the coupler cog part replaced which is all great (AU$515); but when I drove away I realised my turn indicator lights no longer turn off once I have turned a corner, the Kia service place is saying that it is not their fault because they replaced coupler link from underneath, not by taking steering column down. Is this possible? I have a 2012 Kia Cerato. I am struggling with lack of knowledge. All I know is my indicators worked when I went in, but was not when I left and I think they should fix it.

[@solisapaul]

@@katee4190 sorry to hear you’re having trouble in my honest opinion I would have to say because of the fact that it was not acting up prior to taking your vehicle in it must be some thing they did perhaps wiring wasn’t connected correctly or didn’t connect securely. If you can find someone to help you it would not hurt to take the column housing off should only consist of two screws and have a glance of the wiring just to make sure everything is properly seated. (STEERING COLUMN BODY)Sorry for the late response been very busy and I truly hope this helps you stay safe.👍🏽✌🏽

You don't have to disconnect that at 12:39, that is part of the box under, and you don't know what that is. WOW. -- I just did this on my Kia soul 2012 and I removed the seat. LISTEN guys: Remove the seat and you will thank me 10 times. It's only 4 bolts and two connectors. I remove all wires and even the little metal box under the column the one you can see at 9:49. then you can remove the back 14 mm bolt easy. I took down the column and the electric motor was in front of me. Nothing bended or broke, and no code or engine light. Car is perfect. The coupler was intact but feel spongy, so I install a new one.

[@b33sma11]

Just an fyi this part is $1.50 at a Kia dealer if one is close by, auto stores want 13-17 for them. Also my car has a metal box attached to a bracket under the steering column, removing that helped me get to the back bolt, 2 12mm bolt on the right side of a black bracket. I have a soul+ so I think that has something to do with the “upgraded” stereo edit: this video is probably the most comprehensive one available on KZbin so thank you for that!

Thank you for the video, but my steering column won't come down like yours to get to the coupler. It's a 2013 just like yours, I removed the 3 bolts, but it won't come down. Was there a 4th bolt or something that won't allow it to come down. Hope you can help me with that. Thank you, Steve

[@solisapaul]

Thanks for watching it should only be the two 12mm bolts up front and the one 14mm bolt in the rear? No other bolts are securing the steering column. The 14mm bolt will need to be completely removed in order to lower the unit. Hope this helps.

[@robertsteere6889]

The only problem I had was I should not have totally removed the bolts on the front too on the column and should have waited till after I got that rear one done it took a while to ratchet that thing all the way out cuz it was in a bind so it's better to just loosen the front two bolts to get to that top rear bolt on the column

[@BT7888]

my Kia soul is making this sound! it vibrates when I'm on the highway. I don't like going over 60 . I feel like I'm vibrating!

[@solisapaul]

Thanks for watching as I demonstrated in the video if yours is doing the exact same thing and making the exact same sound more than likely this is the issue. Hopefully you can get the Coupler and perform the repair it’s not as hard as one would think it’s just a little tedious but overall simple. Hope this helps you and good luck.👍🏽✌🏽

[@sondegrace1842]

You didn’t show the hardest part! The through bolt is hard to find. Personally I did not drop the column or disconnect harnesses. Once all 3 bolts are loose, you can turn the motor down to gain access. No one is mentioning this but the end of the assembly has a tab that rests on the through bolt bracket. Once you sit the tab in place, it is easy to get the through bolt in.

[@johsor1984]

Just a heads up... Kia updated the warranty on this part from 5 yrs 60k MI to 10 yrs unlimited miles and will fix it for free under said warranty. If your car is 2013 or newer you're covered.

[@mdatte]

First thanks for this video. My big question! Do you think the engineering could have oriented that freaking motor so you could remove it by dropping straight down or to the side with out having to remove the freaking column.

[@solisapaul]

Honestly, if the engineering team would’ve put more thought and effort into owners servicing the steering rod that leads to the motor and gear shaft, they might’ve possibly come up with something slightly more service friendly. But unfortunately, most automotive companies nowadays, make vehicles almost impossible to work on so that you have to rely on either the dealer you bought it from or a mechanic who most often times are disloyal with the customer. Thanks for watching and stay safe and sound 👍🏽✌🏽

[@essamhassaballa8442]

Thanks for the video I did it But at the next day the EPS light gets on So what's wrong now?

[@solisapaul]

WHILE DRIVING When the ESP warning light comes on while you are driving your Kia Soul, do not worry, this is normal, it informs you that the ESP system is working in particular when you take turns. The sensors will send data to the computer which will analyze them and if necessary activate the electronic assistance systems. ON A RECURRING BASIS On the other hand, if the light does not go out without a valid reason, then this implies that you must have the sensors checked, a bulb may have burned out. Consequently, the mechanism informs you that the computer is no longer receiving the data necessary to start the ESP. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

[@tomascaceres3315]

I have the same problem with my 2010 kia soul just do a scan to your car and the eps light gone, that happens because the computer detects that you put a new piece on the car.

[@mariajoseabarcalagunas4734]

Hi, I have a doubt, after the replacement, do I need some kind of calibration of the steering column or the replacement is the only thing needed to solve this problem? Thanks!!!

[@solisapaul]

Thanks for watching no calibration is needed the rubber Coupler is what controls the vibration in the steering column it dampens the vibration. Hope this helps and stay safe.👍🏽✌🏽

[@alangcrowder123]

Remove the two screws on the steering wheel before you disconnect the battery because you will still have power steering to turn the wheel easier..

[@solisapaul]

Will definitely keep this in mind should I need to replace in the near future. Thank you. Stay safe and sound.👍🏽✌🏽

[@alpham3l527]

For the super novice who wants to save money. Could you show or tell us how you got to the 14mm bolt in the back of the steering column and how you took apart the wiring?

[@michaelchristensen6884]

14mm deep well socket is what I used.

[@cvinny82]

Did you ever get this? I've just about stripped the head on that bolt trying to get it with ratchet and extension.

[@robertmoseley1026]

On the 2012 Kia Soul there is a hanger at the end of the steering column that will help the column align in the correct position. Then put the 2 nuts on the column toward the front. This will allow you to pull up and down on the steering wheel to get the bolt all the way through. I had to get upside down all the way under the dash with my daughter moving the steering wheel to get the bolt through. Once that bolt was in it took 10 minutes to put it all back together.

[@iliopsoasL5]

I did everything correctly, now there's an airbag light on. Possible clock spring problem? I'd rather not replace the clock spring. Is there something I've missed?

[@solisapaul]

Thanks for watching. Hope you’re well. The only suggestion have is to disconnect power from vehicle (Battery) for about 15 minutes in those 15 minutes make sure at the steering column that the airbag cable is fully connected as well as any other cables you might’ve disconnected in the process. After doing so reconnect power at battery turn on the vehicle and see if issue has been resolved. Aside from this I’m not sure why it would be showing an airbag light. Hope this helps. Stay safe👍🏼✌🏼

[@degenerategrappling6503]

Brother how did you get the 14mm bolt in the back to seat correctly I have it through but I can get it to catch the threads

[@solisapaul]

Thanks for watching, you’ll have to grab the steering wheel and tilt to the far right so that the left side of the screw hole aligns on the left and then at the same time torque the screw in. It’s a little tricky but it works. Sorry for the late reply hope this helps.👍🏽✌🏽

would this fix the rattling noise that happens when going over bumps as well? in Canada there actually is no recall which blows my mind so I have to DIY too.

[@solisapaul]

Collin Andrews first I would like to say thank you for watching my video. As to your question about experiencing noise when going over bumps I would say if you do not experience tremble at your steering column at 60 to 75 mph or the clique and clank from steering left to right while driving or not then it’s very likely you could have a rack and Pinion steering related issue. I hope this information helps by the way I someday wish to visit Canada I hear it’s a very beautiful place to visit.

@@solisapaul Thank you! The steering column does shake at high speeds and click when I turn right. I have an appointment next week at my local Kia to get the coupler fixed. I dont have time or the resources to do it myself. I'm just wondering if the coupler could be the reason why it rattles loudly when I go over bumps as well as the other issues. I'm hoping the bumps and rattling arent something unrelated to the coupler as its the cheapest thing to fix within the column.

Thanks for watching. To your question I honestly wouldn’t know since that’s a four year gap between the manufactured dates of the vehicles and in a four year period with any manufacturer that deals with cars they do make a significant difference if it would only have been two years apart I would say it’s probably gonna be the same. My only suggestion would be to search Google for pics on the 2013 and 2017 Kia soul and visually hopefully, hopefully you can tell the difference if they are compatible or not hope this information helps stay safe and sound out there.👍🏽✌🏽

Hello. I have a KIA Picanto from 2010. Would be the steering coupler you shared valid to solve the problem in my car? Thank you very much in advance! :)

[@solisapaul]

Thanks for watching, I could not honestly tell you that it would work because your particular vehicle even though it is a Kia it is not the same model nor the same year the engineering aspects of the steering coupler might be the same however the dimensions might be different. I would suggest researching a little more or contact a Kia dealership and ask them if the two-year models the Kia soul 2013 and your 2010 share the same coupler for the steering column. I truly hope this helps sorry I wasn’t of much help. Stay safe.

I truly hope this gets resolved sorry for your inconvenience stay safe and sound.👍🏽✌🏽

[@jdryyz]

So is this coupler failure due to a poorly engineered part and is the replacement part any better? Will it just fail again in the same span of time?

[@solisapaul]

Thanks for watching and that is a very good question my assumption is that the material that was used on the original OEM coupler was perhaps faulty which led to premature failure. I’m sure these couplers we’re not meant to wear out at all again I believe it was just a bad batch so to speak.

@@solisapaul Thanks. I do see right there in the Amazon part description it says "Flexible Coupler is made by Upgraded Rubber which Last Much Longer and more Durable" so that sounds reassuring.

Mine is in the middle of being replace for the second time. It last about a year and half..

[@solisapaul]

Wow! Interesting my replacement has held up so far. Fingers crossed. Thanks for watching stay safe.👍🏼✌🏼

[@32angelluv]

@@solisapaul it fixed the issue once again..fingers crossed. Good luck!

[@shatylee4807]

OKEY let me go and try what I just watched I'm timing

[@clintontyler7911]

You didn't show how you replaced it

[@vaglazdimvaglazdim5330]

I have the same problem.is it dangerous to ignore it for 1000 km ?

[@solisapaul]

@@vaglazdimvaglazdim5330 I would honestly have it changed as soon as possible as I mentioned it’s not very expensive. The part itself is only around 4 to 5 dollars. If anything it’s just time-consuming at 600 miles and it is a must that you must drive the vehicle without getting it fixed, I would say travel no more than 50 mph for it seems that at 65 and above the string becomes unstable. I truly hope you can get this fixed as soon as possible. Stay safe and sound.👍🏽✌🏽

[@user-fp9tr2hf1k]

I have that same problem with my car

[@bnoetzelbn]

My car is having this issue now, is it dangerous?

[@solisapaul]

Thanks for watching since this is happening to your vehicle it would be very wise to have it fixed as soon as possible it could lead to further damage and possibly loss of proper steering control.👍🏽✌🏽

It’s Torx screws, not hex screws.

13:30 leaves out the most important part.

[@Los.vs.evildead]

[@Los.vs.evildead]

I had mine done and they gave me a nice new Chevy Malibu to drive for free

[@fredboomboom5503]

Not all recalled Just check

[@irisbaez1972]

There is a video for this car that disserve 100% thumb up. This one doesn't worth.

[@krissysouffle5734]

Good video but man shorten the dialogue Jesus Christ. Had to skim through it.

[@solisapaul]

krissy souffle Thanks for watching, from your statement I see you are a person of God. So in knowing so please forgive me.👍🏼✌🏼✝️

[@irisbaez1972]

2008 Elantra with 173K millas y aun esta nuevo como el primer dia. Como diablo manejan estas gentes? Tratan muy mal a sus autos, y sus autos son sus caballos antiguos. Nadie trataba mal a sus caballos. --- 173K miles and still working like the first day. How the heck this people drive? People treat their car like shit. The car is like a horse in 1800, no one treat them bad.

[@solisapaul]

Gracias por vernos, siempre sepan y tengan en cuenta que pueden llevar a un caballo al agua, pero no pueden obligarlo a beber. Así que, al igual que con los coches, se puede tratar muy bien a un coche, pero depende del vehículo si funcionará correctamente o no.👍🏽✌🏽

[@vanferrell7021]

Typical kia all you need to work on them is 10mm and a Philips screwdriver.

[@solisapaul]

Lol, you pretty much correct on that. Stay safe and thank you for watching.👍🏽✌🏽
