    Front suspension clunk

    I've renewed almost everything on the front suspension but I've noticed a clunking sound at slow speed. Could the pitman arm be worn on the steering rack? Outer tie rods have been changed only thing not changed is the pitman arm and the central bar that the arm and tierods attach to.
    Also noticed it feels like no damping on the front left even though I've changed the dampers for brand new bilstein, could the knuckle or something be damaged?

    Did you replace strut mounts too? If you think its in the steering have someone wiggle the wheel back and forth while you look for some play in the system.
