Description of the problem	The intermediate shaft in the steering column is making a knocking noise when ever i turn it to the right. I complained to the dealership and they said they could not find anything wrong with it. Now they have a tsb for it for repairing the intermediate shaft. While i'm spending $500, for the repair, they should recall this part because toyota knows about it since 2 years ago. While driving it and making a turn , it will just make a knocking noise and feels like the steering wheel is loose.
