Wah costly, Is it safe not to change the coupling?  Will it cause further damage?

maybe you can try outside workshop to get a quote.

mine since changed a few years back during warranty, so far problem never occur again.

to add on, the mechanic at TCM did tell me before that this steering coupling problem will not affect the car performance or safety, just annoyed at the noise.

I have this problem... u need to change the gasket in the front brake assembly .. (brake bracket kit). replace it soon as sometime even dring at high speed the wheels vibrate. it is dangerous. Cost less than $200 with labour.

Thanks. TC lubricated the steering joint instead. Didn't solve the problem. Darn.

Which service centre did you go to where they gave you this diagnosis?

You should let the mechanc take the wheel instead. I let the SA took the wheel, and he proposed lubrication.
Didn't work.

Replace at TC. under warranty.
But think it will come back again.
Told the SA, he say need to get a tech to test drive with me, I told him don't need test drive. it is a known issues.
So at the end they change it for me.

This rounnd not the couping is the power streeling motor & 1 more part just bellow the wheel. Try to
