Kia Sedona Steering Wheel Problem - U-Joint?
My 2002 Sedona's steering wheel has become stiff. It all started to happen a couple of weeks ago. It was a fairly quick change -- it went from being fine to being tight within a couple of days.
I notice it the most when I turn, having to work to turn the van and then work to straighten the wheel. Occasionally during the turn the wheel will be tight, then a little looser, then tight, then a little looser. It makes no noticeable noises when turning, and the wheel doesn't try to pull out of my hands as I turn.
A little bit of research showed that Sedonas are known for bad Universal Joints aka U-Joint and you can either replace or lubricate the existing u-joint to fix this issue.
The question is how do I get to the u-joint (where to look for it and grease it). Or are you aware of any places that replace u-joint for reasonable $$.
Thanks
