Your video was very helpful, I was able to do it without taking the wheel off due to my long ams. But still had to get the creeper out to really get the bottom bolt tight. Thanks again. Very much appreciated.
Great video, thanks! With this as a guide I just put WD-40 on the intermediate shaft knuckle to prove it's the problem on my 2017 Ram 1500, and then greased it as a short term fix. Part is on order and will do this when I do the brakes and rotors later this month.
Thank you for the video! I went ahead and gave the old u joint a bath with about 2 cans of brake clean while turning the steering wheel. Then took white lithium grease and put it all of the u joint, turned the steering wheel, applied more, and so on. It works great now! Hopefully it holds up, I’ll reapply grease once it warms up. I’m not going to bother replacing it if it keep working.
Sir, i went ahead and replaced the shaft with some used shaft i got from the junk yard. It works fine, but steering is a little tight. The part from the junk yard was almost new. Do you think i need a new one,? Thanks,
My truck is binding when going left like it gets tight as I’m turning could this be my problem ? I don’t hear anything from the outside only hear it in the truck and feel it inside only
Should be left and right turns like hard sports to turn if only left jack it up support it stands and remove tie rod ends from knuckle and move steering knuckles right to left in both sides to see wicth side is stiff
I'm having the same issues with my 2018 I thought it was the rack but fortunately for me it's not so I sprayed a little bit of WD-40 silicone WD-40 on it it freed up a little but it seems like I have to do it everyday if I want a smooth steering so that being said I think I have to replace the entire setup over there on the the steering system and this video just said give me confirmation that it is my steering components anyways thanks for the video I appreciate it please make some more I'll subscribe to your channel and maybe I can learn how to fix my own God damn truck
Yup you need the intermediate shaft make sure to bungee cord the steering wheel so it doesn’t turn when you do the shaft cause if click spring in the column

$242 piece ba hoping it works…. That’s a short term bandaid
@@DagoBoilermaker been over a month. Works great, I don’t plan on replacing it.
Thank you. You helped me fix my steering problem on my Ram! Much appreciated!
Welcome
had transmission shop change out with my new part while i had transmission serviced. still seems to be stiff when i start but not as bad
and yes WD 40 and pentrating oil soak of the knuckle joint does work in the interim.
Your video is a lifesaver. I’m a subscriber now. How much movement of the steering shaft does it take to mess up the clock spring?
Probably half to full
@@richierock1300 👍🏼
Thanks, got the part ordered and will give it a go once it gets here, until then I'll keep spraying it with WD-40 oil which seems to help for awhile.
Machine gun rated gun lube works well also
Thanks for the vid. I gotta do this soon. Wanted to ask if the shaft is keyed or can they go back anyway?
@@omorin34 it’s slotted but make sure steering shaft doesn’t turn on you has sensor for steering wheel alignment
Electric steering is a different shaft but still has ujoint
I ❤ Kroil
this is hydraulic or electrik steering rack version? Thx for the vid
Hydraulic
Hi sir, can it be the same issue on electronic too?
@@simarmomi3837 yes

@@simarmomi3837 did u move the u joints to see if they were free

Will this throw a service power steering on the dash
Might do steering wheel angle sensor
Does this truck have a eps or hydraulic power steering?
Hydraulic but the electric have same problem
Can you share the part# you went with?
