Fit as it should. Not so easy to install but that's the design, not the part.

This is a problem I have not experienced before with any car. The part is simple but the installation is quite difficult. But when the part was replaced there was a definite improvement in the steering. Am quite disappointed with Kia cars because of this obvious design flaw and unwillingness to fix this flaw. But the part is a fix., quality part.

The part is perfect, the job is a struggle, get a friend to help you lift the column back into place and take your time. YouTube is your best friend.

I didn't have to undo any wiring (except negative battery cable clamp just in case), was able to do it all with the wiring attached, so I did not have to worry about codes, since that had been mentioned elsewhere. I think the worst part of it was reaching the back screw on the motor, and then trying to get the steering column back up on the hangar, since you have so many joints that do not want to be cooperative. But otherwise I did this in the semi-dark one evening with very minimum tools. This part worked perfect and the steering silent and tight again!

A couple of months ago I started noticing a couple of things with the steering in my 2012 Veloster. When rotating the steering wheel at very slow speeds, like in a parking lot, it would hear clunking noises each time I rotated the wheel in the opposite direction. Also, at highways speeds there would be a little bit of a dead zone to keep the wheels centered on the road and I had to constantly chase the steering left and right to keep going straight on the road.If you're handy with cars, you should be able to get this job done in 1 or 2 hours. When I took out my old flexible coupler from the motor, it wasn't completely destroyed like a lot of the pictures I've seen on the web, but half of the teeth were crushed pretty good and there were a few small pieces of rubber loose in the motor.Replacing the coupler solved my steering wheel noises and stiffened up the steering center at high speeds.

If you aren't very handy and at least a little bit resourceful take it to the shop.It took probably half an hour to replace this thing and for the most part, I was working blindly in an area I couldn't even see, but had to feel for whether not i was doing it correctly. Look at the "people who bought this also bought this" section of the ad... You'll want to get those too. (seriously)In the end, worked as expected, the price was great and shipping was fast.

I used this part to replace the steering coupler in a 2011 Kia Optima. The part fit great and solved the “clunk” and loose steering issue. Following the tutorials online it took about an hour to replace.
