Performed my 80k service and it cost me around RM 750.
On top of that, it looks like my steering intermediate shaft is damaging. When turning, there's "tak-tak" sound emits out and it's getting more annoying lately. SC checked it and they said the steering shaft is damaged and requires a replacement that could cost me RM 700+
Should I do it at SC or outside since I don't think my car is under warranty anymore?
Just sharing my story as my problem with the "tak-tak" sound when turning the steering solved.On top of that, it looks like my steering intermediate shaft is damaging.

Initial suspect by both SCs was lower universal column assembly. The 2nd SC changed this part but sound still emits. Since problem still persists, the SA changed the part back without any charge. Original part from KIA on this part costs RM 660.82
Next, service adviser suspected that upper universal column assembly got problem. Original part from KIA for this part costs roughly RM 5.5k plus. I asked the SC to find for 3rd party and the cheapest he is able to source is RM 4400. Changed the part and viola, sound gone. Sound emitted from the section circled in green colour.
Service adviser said that this upper universal column assembly seldom changed and it's his first time of changing it. He said that I'm the unlucky one. He also asked if my car got hit by accident or not.
Two to three weeks ago, my battery dead and changed that to for RM 340.
Feel free to comment. I'm really speechless.
