What is steering coupling? Does it affect safety if spoilt?

I just sent car in to TC BT.
For the steering coupling part,they have no stock so need to wait...
For those sound related issue,u need to be with the mechanic go for test drive n test together. if lucky, can solve in one day..
clarence:
Can I check with those who faced steering coupling problem which I believe I am facing now.
Does the TOK TOK sound occur specifically only at slow speed, eg when you are moving off and you turn left/right, and when parking your car, and you turn the steering wheel?
magnum:
Your problem same as mine...
got the problem when car was 1mth old !!! :crying: hilited the problem to TC during 1K servicing...they jz lubricate, hilited again during 5K ...told by them part rectified not replace., within an hour came back again.. :mad:. Called TC and informed them this was not accpetable., ask me to make appt to chg the part. Now ok...but still hv very slight tok tok sound and steering wheel position is not centre when car is straight ( shoody workmanship). Now car 8mths old...jz wait till next servicing to make the steering centre.
IMO either the coupling got design problem or not fixed properly during installation.
Jz that i had chg countless steering couplings during my ns time as veh mech.

ya, mine very obvious when slow turn and parking. Changed mine 6 months ago, the problem come back again. Going to make noise to TCM next week to rectify all my problem:
1) Steering coupling
2) Engine belt/dashboard/door noise
3) Car body slant to right side
4) Windscreen solar firm bubble
5) During slow moving especially traveling over immigration checkpoint, got this 'oooo' sound.
phant:
Mine already changed 4 times from under warranty till now no more warranty still changing..
Each time they tell me not enough lubricant at the joint..
One day, I got fed up of same explanation and scolded the manager in front of all nissan drivers..
Simply scolded if the lubricant wear out so fast then you guys must have put very little in the first place.
Is the the service TC is providing..
But after much checking, they decided to change the sterrling joint and coupling..
Very disappointed with Nissan cars..
No more Nissan cars for me..
