Hi,
I had a plinking sound when hitting little hard spots in the road so I've refreshed things over the years.
I recently thought Ill try with the engine on to turn the wheel left and right at a quick rate and instantly felt play so I thought it could possibly be the inner right tie rod. It felt like a click no matter where the wheels are turned to if I rock the wheel I get a notch feeling.
So I replaced both front inner tie rods, and outer track rods and the noise is still there. Im looking into things is there a pre load nut on the steering rack that might need tightening or could this be a steering rack problem in general? It just feels like there is something loose and I cant find it.
