Wow, thought the old mini van was destined for the scrap heap. Steering was really hard at 10 and 2 positions. Until I found the solution on google, and got some penetrating lube into the u joint. Toyota quoted me $1200 to change the intermediate steering shaft. Played dumb, too, that they had never heard of it before. When I told them the solution I found, they then informed me "that is what most people are doing, as a temporary fix" and " the angle of the shaft was poorly engineered". This, along with multiple other problems one should never have on a vehicle (door falling off, brackets breaking when changing the timing belt) ensures I will never purchase another Toyota again....
