I took my 2005 Prius in the beginning of July for the recall on the steering column. When the serivce department was done, I got in my car, started to drive away and noticed they had put the steering wheel on crooked. So back I went and they fixed that. Now I get a clunk sound out of the steering column every once in awhile. Didn't have it before the recall work. Has anyone else had this problem??

Since you have selected not to tell us what your location is I couldn't even provide you with a great Toyota service department where you could have the problem fixed. Gary
Here is the recall thread: http://priuschat.com/Toyota-Prius-Special-...sue-t20240.html You can read about successful recalls and many that were not, including mine (4 trips to the dealer and still not fixed to my satisfaction). Quite a few people had problems similar to yours. It appears a lot of Toyota dealers can't, or won't, follow instructions and refuse to check their work.

The vedict was "found steering shaft rivet to have separated causing excessive play. Replaced shaft....now working as per design." So I'd suggest that you have it checked out. Thanks, Shawn
So a bunch of these SSC jobs are making the problem *worse*, then. They tell you your steering could become loose, so you bring it in and they make it loose *for* you. F*inwonderful. . Phear my teeny tiny shaft, . _H*
you should definetly take it to your Authorized Toyota Dealer and have them check it out professionally
My 2006 had a clunk from the steering at low speed it was a 45260-47052 Shaft Assy, Steering - I think it is related to the SSC
