How to repair Toyota Camry 2012 Steering Wheel noise

How to fix Toyota Camry steering wheel sound

[@MrRoyal-ho1ds]

Great video indeed. I have been having the same issue with my 2012 Toyota Camry I took it to several different mechanics but they all say different things. So finally I to the Toyota dealership and they wanted to charge me $1200.00 to replace this STAR BUSHING. By watching this video I hope I will be able to accomplish this task but removing so many things is mind-boggling. Thank you sir for the great video and the part number. God Bless you.

I had the same problem, the dealership wanted crazy amounts so that’s why I called my friend who is very handy and we were able to remove all the parts and put them back together! Good luck! :)

[@danielmezadrums]

Do you have a video or an example of the noise it was making? My Camry is making a rattle noise but not sure if it is the star bushing

Thank you sir. I could not find any videos on 2014 Toyota Venza's. I called Toyota to get the bushing and they said that they did not service that part for venza's. It was only for Camry's. So after removing the the airbag and the the heater floor duct I removed the 2-12 mm motor bolts. I used a mirror to look up inside where the coupler would sit at and I found the green coupler pieces everywhere. (I did not have to drop the steering column or take the steering wheel off). Went to Toyota and they would not sell me one for a venza. I had to tell them it was for Camry although I had the part number from your video. Anyway I blew the broken pieces out of the servo and install the new coupler and everything worked great. No more noise.

[@cripton3321]

I’m glad you made it! :)

[@Dermatrans]

I have the same issue on my Venza '09...however, I am not able to do this work myself. 😣

[@cripton3321]

Find someone that’s somewhat handy and I’m sure both of you can do it! Good luck!

[@scotthayesproductions5715]

how did you do this without dropping the column? I am going to make this repair tomorrow or this weekend.

[@abilduarte3855]

Thanks to this video I just saved a lot of money by doing this repair myself. Worked like a charm! Thanks!

Thanks Man! That clicking is so annoying! :) Now I’ll fix it

[@mikedelrod6197]

Wait a minute, you disconnected the battery and then reconnected again to turn the steering wheel ? Thanks !

[@giovannygiogaviria7075]

Hello, thanks for the video, I was able to do it. I live in Tampa and totally canceled the noise, I had been looking for someone to do it for over a year.

[@cripton3321]

You are welcome! I’m glad you were able to do it! :)

[@markg999]

In your area also...how long did it take? Debating let a mechanic do it. As I hate dealing with trim and panels and such. Did yours rattle on rough pavement?

[@jbmar-jx7uv]

great job! i liked it, y disconnect battery? u sure its not suppose to be the 'intermediate shaft', my knocks all the time b/c of the u joint? thanks

Great video. But please how were you able to still turn the steering wheel when the car is off and negative disconnected. Thanks

The hydraulic doesn’t work but you can still turn the steering wheel.

I’m not sure about your model! You better consult with a mechanic!

[@solexautos]

Amazing video, where do I get the part?

[@cripton3321]

I’m happy if I was able to help! Ebay or Amazon, just look at the catalog number of the part at the beginning of the video! Good luck!

[@Umar_Razzaq]

How to identify that only this part is damaged? Any know particular symptoms? My steering is auto spinning all the way right after I hit my right front tire to a pole. Could it be this part only?

[@cripton3321]

You should probably consult with a mechanic if you want to be sure what the problem is!

[@ipmann100]

U have to put some grase there🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@ramonduran5061]

Do you really? And what type of grease?

You probably forgot to connect some of the electrical wires under the steering wheel! Double check the connections.

Was it doing a rattling noise ?

[@xgetbackupx]

Couldn't you do this with removing the steering wheel?

[@cripton3321]

Not really because the hydraulic pump is connected to the steering wheel rod and the only way to open the pump is by removing the steering wheel! It looks very complicated but if you have some mechanical experience it should not be a problem replacing it by yourself!

[@xgetbackupx]

@@cripton3321 there is a hydraulic pump? Its an electric pump though?

I have a Toyota avensis 2010 in europe with electric steering. And was thinking it might be suspension strut top mounts or tie rod ends or the stabiliser rods until I bumper on this video and a few others on KZbin with the same issue. How can I check if my toyota model which is a European car in contrast to yours which is USA. And what happens if you leave that bushing as it is, broken. Is it of paramount importance to change it or will it carry on working with no issues for the safety of the car?

[@cripton3321]

I’m not sure if it is so important for the steering but I couldn’t stand the sound! It was soo annoying! :) You should probably consult a mechanic or try to find the steering wheel manual for your vehicle and you should probably find your answer there!
