    Im having a issue where my steering feels loose and have to constantly adjust on highway, with steering wheel shake at certain speeds, also any little bump etc makes steering wheel jump around, ive just had a bunch of front end work but still same issue, replaced all shocks, new upper control arms, new inner/outer tie rod ends, new sway bar end links, new sway bar bushings, and also new alignment. Ive read that a common issue can be the upper or lower intermediate steering shaft, it describes same issues im having including a clunk sound under dash area, any opinions or advice on this would be great, thanks in advance

    I got a issue with my 2012. Noticed a little play in steering wheel. Got a bad universal in lower steering shaft. Got a new one ordered but like to get a universal to repair the stock shaft. That don’t solve you problem. I recommend you go on YouTube and watch some videos on replacing the upper and lower shaft. There you will see the shafts better and the wear points. So you can trouble shoot and find the problem if it is in the shafts.
