Hi - I am Dave, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. A steering shaft is not a part that is mechanical in nature, rather it connects the wheel to the gear. I would advise diagnostic testing is required to find out what is going on with the variable assist power steering of this vehicle. At the very least I would recommend a second opinion, as to what you've been told.
