I recently noticed that, if I'm stopped and I shimmy the steering wheel back and forth there is a clunk I can hear in the center of the car in the driver's footwell area. I can also feel it knock in the steering wheel and also the driver's side wheel and tie rod.
I already replaced both outer tie rods because one of them had a torn seal. I couldn't feel any significant play after doing both outers so I did not proceed with the inners.
I'm going to have an alignment shop try to diagnose the problem but I'd like to know what I can expect before I go in this evening. I would do inner tie rods but beyond that I'd probably have a shop do the work. Does anyone have any thoughts on what this could be?
