If you’ve noticed a knocking or clunking noise when turning the steering wheel in your Hyundai, you’re definitely not the only one. This is a common issue reported by many Hyundai owners, but the good news is, it’s a known problem with a proven fix.
What’s Causing the Steering Knock?
The source of the noise is typically found inside the power steering system, where a small plastic coupling (also known as a steering coupler or flexible rubber joint) helps absorb vibration and provide smooth steering.
Over time, this part can wear out or deteriorate, especially in vehicles that are a few years old or have high mileage. When it begins to break down, you’ll start to hear that distinct clunking or knocking noise, especially during slow turns or when parking the vehicle.
The Fix: Restore Smooth, Quiet Steering
The solution is straightforward: replace the worn coupling with a new one. Once replaced, your steering should return to feeling smooth, quiet, and precise – just like it was when the car was new.
It’s important to address the issue early. While the noise might seem minor at first, leaving it too long can lead to increased wear on other steering components and potentially more expensive repairs down the track.

“I recently had my Hyundai serviced here to fix the knocking sound in the steering. The team was fantastic and the job was completed very quickly and at a great price compared to some other quotes I received. They also looked at another issue that I had been told existed by another mechanic but they said was fine and did not need to be done. Great honesty and overall a very good experience. I’ll be bringing my car back here from now on. Thanks!” – A recent customer Review from Bryce Nancarrow
