Well, I'm assuming its the inner. I mean I've checked EVERYTHIGN else for this clunk/popping noise and I cant find it. The only play I've found on my front suspension was on the tie rod. I used a rubber mallot to wack around down there and the only thing that moved at all is the tie rod. It even made a clank when I tapped it.

New endlinks, new wheel bearings, BAT suspension kit has about 50-60k on it now, new balljoints, control-arm bushings are good, new camber plates at the top, new drive shafts as of about 5k miles ago... only thing left for that clunk is the steering.

Anyway, it goes into the shop tomorrow to replace the inner tie rods. What I'll do is have the shop check for play before they tear into it just to be sure this is a good idea. If they say its fine, then I'll scrap this idea and go with replacing the steering rack or something like that.
