Ford F-250 Super Duty Steering Wheel Clunking / Looseness / Popping SOLVED!!

I'm glad this is fixed...it was driving me crazy. :) If you feel a pop, loose, clunk, clang, not right sensation in your steering wheel then this is the part you need to cure it. #trucks #superduty #diesel

[@BigDaddyCane777]

A noticeable pop in the steering wheel that can be felt in the accelerator pedal. My 2019 F350 SD has been doing this since 24k miles. If I turn the wheel to the right and his the accelerator, a sharp noticeable pop.

[@squateveryday9327]

Same and I feel it when I am backing up also periodically

[@nschares]

Excellent. Thank you very much for putting this video together! I've been trying to figure out this problem on my truck for a while. You the man!

[@gussisj1977]

I just replaced eeeevery thing in my front end. Literally everything. Steering is tight and solid but sometimes I feel that little rattle and loose sensation up in the wheel… guess im getting this and replacing… thanks man..

[@WarVet1984]

I just replaced mine after replacing everything and more and WOW, sir, you are a blessing, that clicking/popping thing on my steering wheel and gas pedal is gone, thank you very much

[@squateveryday9327]

I am feeling that right now . What was the issue and how much did it cost. I am driving a 2022 f450

[@TheVelvetSkyBand]

I recently bought a used 2019 F350 dually. 110k miles. I have this issue also. Clunking in some turns, going over some bumps, sometimes when I accelerate and wheel turned, etc. I also feel it in the accelerator pedal. I’m going to check this on mine asap. Thank you for the video!

[@JohnPaaaulo]

Did this fix it?

[@brianeubanks9911]

Thank you for this helpful video!! A++ job!

[@Gtown1981]

Took mine off to inspect it, felt a very fine dead spot in the upper joint. After putting it back on, now have a pretty significant knock in the colum at Freeway speeds. Craziest stuff..... 🤷 UPDATE: Replaced the shaft and just like 4-Low. Magic all pops, knocks, whatever you want to call it..... Gone. Also this is shaft #2 for my truck. Saw in the service history that original owner had it replaced at 27k miles. I currently have 40k. I don't beat on the truck either. I think some company needs to make a stronger shaft.

[@bamadudes2473]

This is perfect, mine does same thing and i can feel it in pedals. Many thanks!!!!

[@The2001cobra]

mine does too especially on slow swooping corners too the right, It feels like a sway bar link or shock rod dampening issue almost. Its BS mines under warranty and ford keeps telling me oh we dont feel anything its normal

[@misharabin6791]

Thank you for this video, I will definitely be giving this a try. Did you have to get an alignment and what torque specks ?

[@lees5953]

Why not demonstrate the noise, so we will know? It would’ve been more helpful. That noise can be a few things, the steering gearbox, steering linkage, might need a stabilizer to strengthen the front end. I have a noise as well and was curious what you heard. Thanks.

[@Gtown1981]

Anyone have a torque spec for those 2 bolts? For what it's worth F150 spec is: Top 35ft lb Bottom 22ft lb

[@drewolm]

How many miles were on the truck? I’ve got a clunk in right front wheel. Replaced ball joints and didn’t get rid of it. Might be something in my hub.

[@p.t.3752]

Mine has been replaced twice. Has to go in for a third time.

[@zekd]

Did you also feel the popping when accelerating too? I think this is the same issue I am facing.

[@4-LOW]

Not so much. Mostly over bumps.

[@badback1111]

So glad I came across this video. Both the dealership and my own mechanic couldn’t feel it…but I can. Looking forward to ordering and replacing. Thanks for making the video!

[@badeshkosergei]

What about the upper steering shaft? Is it possible to replace it myself? Thank you

[@Gooselip]

Could this be related to bumps in my pedals? I think I've heard it is related I have the steering wheel bumps and my pedals feel loose

[@mikedirks5889]

My 2019 superduty has had this slight clunk in the steering wheel in right hand turns only for 3 years. Dealer or anyone else can never feel it, drives me nuts. Whats a dealer charge to replace this? Can this be catastrophic if not replaced?

[@BigDaddyCane777]

Got the same truck and exactly the same thing. Mine pops on right turns and on inclines when I accelerate. 2019 F350 SD. Took it to the dealership and told them the very same symptoms but they "can't replicate the problem." Been happening since 24k miles.

[@mikedirks5889]

@@BigDaddyCane777 How many miles you got on it? I have replaced ball joints, tie rod ends, track bar to cure it and only have 50k miles on mine.

[@BigDaddyCane777]

@mikedirks5889 I took the truck in to have it looked at when it had 30k on it. I have ~72k now. It's popped through the wheel and accelerator for about 50k miles and the geniuses at the dealership look at you like you're either a liar or insane when you tell them about this.

[@BigDaddyCane777]

@@mikedirks5889 it's not the suspension, though I've had suspension problems with the tie rod ends, stabilizer linkage, etc. But this particular problem is the steering shaft. I know *exactly* what you're talking about. I thought the suspension was about to come unglued. Mine is 4x4 and has the solid front axle/differential, which is a luxuroius ride in a one ton.

[@Twizztify]

Where did you buy yours from? I can’t seem to find much on these online.

[@4-LOW]

Any online Ford parts vendor. Try typing that part number in.

[@inspectormando2958]

Do you have the part #?
