PURPOSE
This TSB provides instructions on how to resolve a noise heard and vibration felt during steering
wheel operation. When turning the steering wheel after the vehicle stops for more than 15
minutes, a clunk sound may be heard from the driver's side floor and a vibration felt. Please
perform the repair upon customer complaint basis. Additionally, please perform the
programming, auto configuration of EPS Control Unit and calibration of the Torque Sensor.
BACKGROUND
When grease located between the rack and support yoke seat of the steering gear box becomes
thin, friction increases. As a result during steering operation, the support yoke is drug along the
motion of the rack, causing it to come into contact with the rack housing and generating an
abnormal noise. The concern is resolved by changing the grease between the rack and support
yoke seat by replacing the Steering Gear Box-ASSY.
