Steering wheel knock

I have slight play/knock in my steering wheel when going over uneven roads. When the truck is off if I try to shake the steering wheel up/down or side to side I feel a little knock . I think it is my intermediate shaft PN 45220-04020 by doing some research. I heard that this can fail prematurely. Did Toyota make a better version or I should get aftermarket. Anything else I should check?
Thanks
A good video I found as well.

I had this done a couple of years ago and it worked well. I checked it today the zip tie is still there. I also added another one but I still have the play.

 

Not the only fix obviously, but the simplest 1st step, and you didn't mention you'd already done that.

There are some other options in the same thread I believe.

Let us know your final fix
