| Description of the problem | Steering has had a "clunking" noise for several months. I read online from numerous other 2007 rav4 owners that toyota has issued service bulletin #t-sb-0318-08 to correct the problem. My toyota dealer replaced one of the intermediate shafts has instructed in the service bulletin. Repairs cost me $414. 00. Noise has been eliminated. I own two rav4s year 2007. Both have the same problem. |
