If you want to quickly and safely diagnose and replace defective
steering yoke (steering u-joint/universal joint), watch this video.

Knocking sound from the steering system? It's very annoying, right? Most probably, it's the steering yoke (universal joint or simply u-joint) that is the culprit. It's damaged. And, it needs to be replaced.

Learn to fix it, yourself. You can save a lot of money.

In this video, I am going to show you what the problem/issue was, with a video using my own vehicle. I provided easy and efficient way to repair it. Since most cars nowadays are equipped with SRS/airbags, working within or around the steering system is relatively dangerous and risky, if you fail to follow necessary precautions. So, I provided tips and warnings to help you execute your project in the safest possible way.
