Hi all. Still sorting out my 2000 Outback

 

The steering does some clunking over bumps etc and I get a clunk when turnin the wheel left or right (just a slight clunk)

 

If I grab either wheel - especially driver's side - I can replicate the clunk when pulling the wheel left-right with my hands

 

What is this and how do I fix it? Thanks very much

top strut mounts, steering rack bushings, tie rod.

 

focus on the drivers side obviously.

 

i'd grab the inner tie rod and move it around - if the tie rod has play then it's bad. if the entire rack has play then the rack bushings are probably shot.

 

a bad rack bushing on a car so new would be odd unless it's oil soaked from oil or some other fluid.
