If I can remember correctly, yes. I was working on my 01 4.4i. I removed the tie rod from the knuckle and pushed it aside, putting it back on, the inner rack does have play, but I don't have a clunk. My clunk was gone after replacing the swing supports on both sides. It says 122K miles, when was the last time the ball joints for the Tension strut to wheel carrier replaced and the Swing supports on both sides replaced?
