FAQ Q&A

Q: Can these gears fix the clunking noise in my Toyota steering wheel?

A: Yes, a common cause of knocking or clicking sounds in Toyota electronic steering systems is the wear and tear of these buffer gears. Replacing them restores the cushion and eliminates the play that causes noise.

Q: Does this kit include both the large and small gears?

A: Yes, this kit is a complete 2-piece set containing both the larger steering gear buffer pad and the smaller digital steering gear component required for the repair.

Q: Is professional installation required for this part?

A: Installation requires access to the steering column motor. While it is a direct replacement, it involves disassembly of steering components, so professional installation is highly recommended for safety.
