2008 Escape with steering problem

Hello

My wife's having some car trouble. When I turn the steering wheel back and forth there's a cracking sound and I can feel it into the wheel. And now the steering's gotten really stiff.

There is a TSB for this issue. The steering shaft and coupler will need to be replaced. Went through this issue with the wife's 08.
