Title: I30 GD steering wheel coupling issue. Based in Sydney.
Post by: Tyb1987 on August 05, 2022, 01:16:34: I have a steering wheel coupling issue with the 2012/2013 Hyundai i30 elite. The mechanic would charge me from $495 to $700 for this. Rang Hyundai and they said it's not covered under their warranty as my car is over 10 years old.

Could U recommend a mechanic that can fix this issue and also based in sydney that won't cost me arms and legs?

Thanks

Or maybe better, look for a steering specialist which has a connection to Fulcrum Suspension.

Somewhere on this site is a link to the actual Hyundai workshop document which details the operation step by step.

Post by: Aye30 on August 06, 2022, 04:04:11: Hi, Jax isn't that cheap anymore. I rang about 6 months ago and it was more like 450 to 500. Roughly the same price as other shops and a trip down to Kwinana.
