Hi I have a 2000 Odyssey with 255,000 km. It's still in great shape except for a clunking noise in the driver side front end (on bumpy roads and while turning slowly). I changed the driver side control arm in an attempt to stop the noise and inspected some other front end components. I discovered play in the shaft near the inner boot going into steering rack. The outer tie rod end seems fine, and I was wondering if their is an inner tie rod (I can't see inside the boot, and I haven't found any for sale online) that I could replace, unless 1/8 on an inch of play on the tie rod is normal for this model. After changing the control arm (which consisted of two bushings and a ball joint) the noise was better going over bumps but I still get a light clunking, occasionally, during slow turns. Any Ideas? Thanks, Dave Clunking in Canada,

No freeplay in tie rods is acceptable. The rack could have problems itself and there are tie rod ends out of sight in there, T
