I have been hearing (recently) a clicking noise at slow speeds when stopping. Then a small clunk started happening I looked under my truck, everything looks fine, but this part. It looks like it may be broken inside the boot? What do you all think.

I don't know what you're trying to show us. All I see is a rusted out suspension.

That's just the bellows boot for your rack and pinion. I don't see a problem with it.

Maybe the inner tie rod is loose? Jack that wheel off the ground and put a jack stand to support it. Then move the tire by hand and check for play in the tie rod ends.

Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Thanks a bunch. I took the tire off and everything seems to be ok. I cleaned the brakes and checked all the boots and everything, and re torqued the tire everything seems to be going better now. Maybe it was just loose lug nuts or something. Appreciate the help.
