  • Rattle in steering column on corrugations

    At certain speeds on corrugations I get a loud metallic rattle coming from the steering column. Moving the steering column up/down or in/out makes no difference to the noise.

    Has anyone experienced this or have ideas on what it might be or how to fix it?

    How many kms? Could be lower arm bushes, or steering rod ends.

      If you have movement in the steering wheel when you hear the rattle then it will most likely be rack ends.

        There is no movement in the steering, bushes etc are in good condition. This is a metallic sounding rattle coming from the top end of the steering column.

        It seems to be a similar problem to this in the 120 series http://www.pradopoint.com.au/showthr...r-rough-ground

          Hey Steve,

          If it isn't rack ends, steering rack bushes, or lower intermediate shaft, then the most likely culprit is the uni bears in the upper intermediate shaft, which goes from inside the cabin through the firewall.

          I have been through this in my 120 trying to eliminate the same rattle, and after changing my rack ends and my lower intermediate shaft (which were both shagged), I've still got a mild rattle, and after inspecting my upper intermediate shaft, I can see all the grease has wept out of the uni bears.

          Upper intermediate shaft is part# 4522060150, around $125 from UAE Amayama. I'll be replacing mine soon!

            Thanks Mark, that sounds like the problem. I'm surprised that it would be worn after only 120k, must be from the 2 weeks/year where I drive on some pretty corrugated tracks that also managed to crack my guards.

            Do you know if this part also fits the 150 series and any ideas on how big a job it is to replace?
