Consumer Description

THE STEERING ON MY 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE STEERING WAS BINDING, REQUIRING AN INCREASED EFFORT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL FROM NEUTRAL OR RETURN TO NEUTRAL AFTER TURNING. I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID. IT WAS FINE. I LOOKED UP THE ISSUE AND REALIZED THAT THIS HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED. ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, MY PROBLEM HAS BEEN CAUSED BY THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. IT IS BINDING/LOCKING BECAUSE OF THE CORROSION OF THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT. *TR
