Hyundai i40 Steering Knock - Gold Coast
If your Hyundai i40 has a steering clunk or knock, we have the solution. You don't have to go back to the dealer for this repair, we can fix it at our Gold Coast workshop.
Great communication, honest pricing, excellent customer service. These are some of the comments our customers use to describe their experience with us.
Hyundai i40 steering experts
We'd be more than happy to fix your your Hyundai I40 steering knock. Similar to the Hyundai I30 Steering Clunk / Knock, the steering column is removed to gain access to the Electric Power Steering Motor which enables us to replace the coupling / bush that wears out, creating the awful clunk noise.
It is also similar on some Elantra, Veloster, Santa Fe and Sonata Models.
The Hyundai I40 steering column repair is more time consuming than the I30 due to the extra components to remove such as the Knee air bag, brake switch and wiring. The column itself is also heavier than the I30 and a little bit more fiddly to remove from the vehicle.
It is also essential that the SAS or Steering angle sensor be re-calibrated after carrying out this repair as warning lights will sometimes appear on the dashboard after the repair is complete.

I had my triton in for a 60,000 km service. Mick was $400 cheaper than Mitsubishi. From the first time I spoke to the guys at the shop it was a breeze. Very Professional and spent time explaining what they did and broke it down for me. Awesome service. Thanks guys. I will be recommending you and I will be back.

The guys from Ashmore RWC and Automotive Services are a legend! I enquired a Safety Check during the morning and it was finished within minutes.Not only that, as my VIC plates were placed using anti-theft screws, they went above and beyond by helping me disassemble them and put on my new QLD plates.101% Customer Satisfaction guaranteed if you avail their services.

Nick and the team are amazing. I cannot say thank you enough for there amazing work. I was on the Gold Coast for a holiday the day I had to leave the car broke down. Nick was able to fit me in on the same day and do the necessary repairs, and had me back on the road within a day and half. Thank you agian to RWC, you guys got me back to Sydney with no troubles. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a honest reliable mechanic.

Hyundai spider gears done in steering. Big job but very pro, very neat and tidy. You'd never know they had half the dashboard apart. 100% recommended.

Big Shout Out to Nick and the guys at Ashmore RWC.My husband had a quote for the front suspension repairs done at a dealership. Since we did not have the $2500 quoted, I thought I could drive the car till we saved the money.Of course the clunking and banging got worse, just as I pulled into the shopping center across the road. Your boys were marvelous in getting the car over the road and identifying that a few rubbers were gone, not the whole front suspension.Thank you so much guys for being honest, and of course saving us all that money.Kirsty

Honest, experienced and reliable team that were able to show me a few things that were missed by previous workshops. I'm happy that good quality oil and fluids were used on my WRX and everything was fairly priced. Thanks again to the friendly team!

I went to get a RWC done on my vehicle from Ashmore Automotive services. The RWC report was very vague, there was a bunch of repairs that the mechanic verbally told me but did not mention on the report. After I had fixed the listed repairs, I returned to the mechanic at the reception. I had booked to see him at 8am. When I arrived at 8am, I was told to come back at 10am instead for no reason at all. Even though I had booked in advance a day earlier. Now I have paid $80+ for the RWC and I have been left in a limbo. The staff was rude and did not honor his word (I spoke to him earlier on the phone). I initially went to the mechanic due to good google reviews but I guess you cant fully trust the reviews.

Great work from the crew at ASHMORE RWC & AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES! I made internet inquiry Sat 1st Aug 2020 I received TXT Estimate (that beat others- one by nearly half) Mon morn 2nd Aug . I rang them back for a time,booked in today Wed 5th Aug, picked up vehicle ( Hyundai i30 ) at 11am. Perfect work ! Friendly expert Manager Nick - this was not a straight forward job. I was quoted $648 this company did it for $ 330 amazing - and a specialist in Hyundai's ! Am at home now after a long drive back home - drives beautifully. THANKS AGAIN ASHMORE RWC & AUTO SERVICES ! So sad to hear of the mixed up lady below (Elly) in the review - totally fake review from her!

Terrible mechanic had no idea what my diagnostic check meant and suggested I just buy a new car because mine is ‘10 years old and not worth keeping’. They charged me $50 for this ‘advice’. I took it straight to another mechanic (who did not claim to be a ‘Subaru specialist’) who within 5 minutes could figure out it just needed new spark plugs. Nothing else. Do not waste your time and money here they have absolutely no idea what they’re doing and are only specialists in BS

Nick went above and beyond to fix the problem it had when getting a rwc. He drove himself to get part the afternoon before Easter weekend just so it could get fixed in time. Great service and will be taking cars for servicing here from now on.

I take my silver 2012 Subaru XV to Ashmore RWC. I just took my car to them again for a knocking when turning. I keep my google account anonymous from my real name but Nick should know who this is. The team there are great. The customer service is excellent and Nick is a great guy and very honest. I highly recommend Ashmore RWC.

This business is a recommended Dobinson Suspension fitter and I read some of their very good reviews before I decided to drive the hour from home JUST to check them out. I discussed my coming 4WD itinerary (NT, the Kimberleys, Gibb River Rd, Dampier Peninsula etc) and expected requirements towing a Kimberley camper trailer at 1.6 tonnes with my near standard 2012 Hilux SR5. Nick was patient and took everything in before outlining what he believed I needed... NOT what I thought that I had to have. I went away and did some more research before returning and going over all the details again and had Nick answer my new questions thoroughly before shaking hands on a deal.Work was done professionally, on time, on budget and without issues. Communication was spot on ...no guessing! The guys fitted a new Beaudesert exhaust system simultaneously so everything underneath, worn down from 168,000 kms on/off road, is replaced & ready for the next big trip.Workshop guys spent 20 minutes at 5.30pm going over what was done and the settings, as well as what I needed to do (regarding airbag pressures) when the going got tough up north. NO hurry, all concern...excellent stuff lads!Nick wants the vehicle back at 1,000 kms to recheck/retighten all fittings etc...all works to make me feel more comfortable about choosing Ashmore RWC. I will have no hesitation in dropping the Hilux back in after the expected 16,000 kms "adventure" next year for a complete check over... I'm sure it will be more than worth the cost!

Phenomenal service from Nick and the team. So clutch [email protected]$t itself at 7pm, quick look at google for good clutch repair ratings and up comes Ashmore RWC & Auto. Car’s towed there the next morning and Nick goes out of his way to get on the case.Fully transparent service.No grey area - “oh we thought we’d just do such and such as we were already in there and that’s an extra $200...” - which I’ve had before, far from it. The job actually came in cheaper, yes folks cheaper, than originally quoted!!Great service and Nick gives all the time you need so you fully understand what’s happening and required.Will be going here for all servicing and repairs from here on in.Great job and great customer service.

I would rate these Guys 10/5 if I could! My experiences with them so far have been absolute incredible, they’re so transparent, and tell you exactly how it is, with no hidden agenda. I have dealt with MANY mechanics, and these guys are now my go to, I recommend them to everyone. Nick and Andy at RWC are very very good.Thank you guys!

FAQ
A little plastic bush called a Spyder Bush causes the Hyundai i40 steering knock. Usually around $30. After wearing out and losing its gears or teeth (which stop it from meshing) the plastic star-shaped bush tends to fail. As a result, this creates the hideous knocking or clunking noise.
Despite the simple cause, it's quite a complex job and will usually be completed in 3 hours.
It’s best to have this repair carried out as soon as possible after you hear the knock noise. Otherwise it can cause other issues with the steering column which makes things alot more costly.
