Hi did this yesterday but when I put back up I have no power steering and getting a code c1525, took it apart and put back up a few times trying to see if I needed to align something or check inner gears mesh etc but nothing is working tried clearinh code multiple times... Any help would be appreciated

I did the coupler replacement on my FR-S and found ermax's tips very helpful. There were a few things that I did differently which will make the install easier. I used an identical coupler for a 2010 thru 2017 Kia soul, available from the dealer. After removing the column cover screws, straighten the steering wheel, remove the key and disconnect the battery. I found that removing the steering wheel assembly from the splines and laying it over to the side makes the job a lot easier, no wrestling is needed. I marked everything with a magic marker to align it during reassembly. A little bulb grease on the coupler makes it more cooperative when reinstalling the motor. Hope this was helpful.

Just did the fix, it works brilliantly!
The install wasn't bad at all, about 1.5 hours total Thanks for blazing this trail and putting in the work! |
Hi,
I fixed this previously in the garage but hold and behold the same issue started again. Thank you for showing how to fix it properly i think the garages just did a quick fix. I have a silly question though as i have never done this before. Do i need to just install a single Hyundai coupler or stick 2 of them together? As per the pictures on amazon it looks pretty slim so do i need to fit 2 in after trimming the nipples? And yea i ordered 6 pieces just in case :) Anyone having the same problem in Dubai just give me a shoutout. Thanks, |

No you just need one. I’ve seen a few others reporting this problem from Dubai. |
I have gotten to the install portion and I am unable to get the carriage bolt back through the bracket by the brake switch.
Any tips? I got it back past the little lip there that requires the column to be loose, but I will be damned if I can get the threads to start. |

It’s a bitch to get it through. I ended up cross threading mine. I think what happens is when pulling it apart you spread that bracket so it is no longer square and then the bolt doesn’t line up properly when going back in. If you can get a C clamp in there to bent the bracket back into shape that may help. I really wish the bolt wasn’t blocked like it is. This is by far the worst part of the job. |
I cant figure out how to make this forum quote you.
But.. That is actually a great idea, I was thinking the bracket was out of square. I will try this, thank you! |
I am completely ecstatic that this worked. But I am mad that it took me so long to find this post, I have been looking for a solution to this issue for months.
If OP had never posted a comment on this random youtube video ([ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMTxhr43slk[/ame]) I never would have solved this. On top of the clunking noise you see in the video linked. I would also get a small clunking noise that sounds a lot like sway bar links when going over sharp bumps (divots in road) or small bumps in succession (think warning strips on highway). Also, shout out to ermax for the idea of the bracket getting tweaked. I was able to get one of those vise grip style clamps (https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....AL._SX425_.jpg) to straighten the bracket. Thanks Guys! |

Glad you got it worked out and thanks for sharing your results of fixing the bracket. I should probably add a warning and a link to your solution in the OP. Now that it’s fixed doesn’t it seem like you shaved 100k mikes off the car? Hahaha |
