on my 2001 4.4 i have install a used double joint (150$) from a x5 with less than 100K miles, it looks little different than the original one,,and the people said that i think this one was replaced by a dealer or shop not long ago,,was looking like new,even had the rubber covering the double joint from preventing dust to get in,, now,,i dont hear that clunking anymore,but i have notice that i have a steering wheel play 1/2 to 1 inch,, i have no clue what and why is causing this... any clue? thanks

May need to have someone move the wheel back and forth slightly within the area of play while you inspect the shaft with a flashlight... There are enough joints in that shaft that you will need to physically isolate the culprit to be sure.

Hi, Well I confired that my rotors were wraped. Changed to OEM rotors n pads. I still have a slight shake on the highway (100kmish) But I have a clunk sound as well and my mechanic told me it sounds like its coming from the u-joint area. Arghhh, I hear it coming when I back up from the driveway or just making a right turn. like a creak sound. What else would cause a shake, ball joint on thrust arm?

Just resurrecting this after a search. My dealer has diagnosed a clicking through the steering wheel as the lower steering coupling (No.2 above) but said it is wear and tear so not covered. My car was manufactured 8 years ago but has only done 26,000 miles. I have my own opinion on this but thoughts would be appreciated.
Just to add that looking at the parts diagram, it seems the design may have been modified to include a protective cover (and possibly other changes). Does this mean there might be a known issue? Last edited by dan1502; 07-26-2012 at 06:56 AM.
