steering 'clunks' - 2003 es300 - help please!
Hello. I would appreciate any help forum members can offer. Friend has a 2003 ES300 with 32,500 miles. At low speeds when starting to initiate a turn you can hear a slight 'clunk'. Is this a known issue for this year/model? What things should I look at that might be causing this issue?
Thanks
Thanks

Sounds like it is the steering intermediate shaft, I've seen these create looseness where the splines have enough clearance when turning it makes a clunk noise. If I remember correctly there's a service bulletin out there that covers this.
