How to fix 2nd gen scion xb 08+ with rattling chatering noise coming from steering /remove dashboard

this video is how to remove a 2nd gen scion xb 2008-2014 dashboard and repair the electric power steering damper that disintegrates over time and makes rattle noises. it can also cause wandering from the steering too..so of toyots have very similar electric power steering systems, but I couldent find a video how to repair a 2012 scion xb... so I made one.

thanks for this video, I followed this video and got the part that needed and finally fix this annoying noise that been bugging me for years, everywhere I go they told me to replace the steering column, there are no other way to fix it, you sir save me thousand of dollars, you are my HERO!!!!

Great video. I'll take apart mine, this gave me confidence to not break the pilar twisting things.

Thanks for the video. I'm starting to experience this issue while driving on the highway or just turning slowly on roads. Consistent rattling noise from the steering column. I had parked and left the car on - stuck my head under the dash - and turned the steering wheel to the right and then to the left. I was thinking it was maybe the u-joint with a metal on metal issue, but it's still lubricated. Glad to know from your video that it is an inexpensive part. My 2008 xb (5spd) has 208k miles... bought used with 23k miles. She's a good oil burner. Quart / 400-500 miles.

I thought it was the intermediate steering shaft u joints at first to. But doing some research on other toyota models that use the same steering system, I found out the damper for the electric motor was the issue. No one has posted any videos or anything on fourms, so I made a video about it. Yep mine is burning oil pretty bad too... stupid piston ring designs.

I’ve seen this done on a Camry by removing the entire steering wheel assembly. This looks like it might be a tad easier.

[@alex102390]

I agree less things to remove. I've done it on 15 Camry 14 ES350 and 15 XB and the easiest was the XB. Just 1 panel and 1 cross bar bracket and then the column comes down

[@hypnosheep5075]

Can't seem to find a video to drop the column. I would rather do that than take apart the dash🤔 ... it's pretty easy huh? Maybe I should go look at it and see if I can figure it out​@@alex102390

That looks fun I own a 2010 xb I have no issue yet but I'll be ready thanks for the vid👍

[@hmglor]

You sir, is a fucking hero! Took me less than an hr to do this on my 2012 xb.

[@mirandaoneill9750]

How did you remove the very top trim? I’m stuck on that part. Pulled all the screws I could see and not sure what else to do

[@robertgonzales2782]

Do you mean where the guage and speedometer are? There is a piece of trim that pops out which will show all the other screws

[@robertgonzales2782]

Here is an eBay listing for the trim around speedometer, so you can see exactly what pops out. It comes out easily you just have to grab ahold of it and pull or use an interior trim tool

[@ChezzOnBass]

Ok so how did you replace that wheel or bushing that was falling apart?

[@robertgonzales2782]

@BiggECheez you have to remove the dash board, then remove the two bolts for the electric power steering motor... and the damper just comes out.
