2013-14 Hyundai GD i30 Tourer: knocking or clicking noise from steering wheel

In May 2014, Hyundai Motor Corporation issued Technical Service Bulletin 14-ST-002-1 for a range of Hyundai models, including the 2013-14 Hyundai GD i30 Tourer. According to the technical bulletin, the flexible rubber coupling in the motor driven power steering (MDPS) assembly could deteriorate over time and cause a ‘clicking’ or ‘thud’ type noise when the steering wheel was turned.

To fix, the flexible rubber coupling was to be removed, along with all perished rubber – compressed air was recommended. A new coupling was then to be installed in its place and aligned with the electric power steering motor. The part number for the flexible rubber coupling was 56315-2K000-FFF; the revised coupling had the same part number, but it was marked ‘4P’.

According to the bulletin, there were no steering performance issues associated with deterioration of the rubber coupling.
