Further to my problem of left front clunk, I replaced the front control arm bushing caps, and the left ball joint. This brings the total of new parts to:
-front struts and bearings
-ball joints
-bushing caps
-axles
In addition, I have inspected:
-wheel bearings
-control arm rear bushings
-sway bar bushings, nuts and bolts
-all associated nuts and bolts in the front suspension
Question 1: Aside from the inner tie rods and outer tie rod ends, is there anything in the steering rack that could be suspect? If no, I may replace just the inner and outer rods.
Question 2: If the above answer is yes, how difficult and time consuming is replacing the whole rack? Is it easier or more difficult than replacing the inner tie rods while the rack is on the car?
Question 3: Are any special tools required, other than a tie rod end separator?
