Toyota Sienna Steering Column thunking noise $0 cost repair 

This noise was driving me crazy. My mechanic said it was a intermediate steering shaft. Other RU-vid videos of Camrys showed that there was a rubber damper that disintegrates inside the power steering motor assembly. Well it took me three hours to find out it was neither. It was a simple fix that I should have taken no more than 15 minutes. This was a 2011 Sienna LE with 226k miles.
