I have a '05 Jeep Liberty CRD.
I just replaced all bushings, ball joints, outer tie rod, springs and shocks with Moog and Monroe parts on the front suspension.
Inner tie rods replaced 5K miles ago.
I am getting a clunk when I go in reverse from a hard left and also when I turn the steering wheel hard left with the car stationary.
The clunk seems to happen "forward" once and to the "rear" once as a cycle forward and reverse. It does not happen repeatedly as the wheel turns.
I do not feel it in the steering wheel.
Sounds like it is coming from the front left of the vehicle.
I pulled the front wheels and rechecked my torques and everything is at torque with no movement of nuts. I used castle nuts and cotter pins on the lower ball joints and outer tie rods.
The front axles CV boots appear in good shape. The front bearings spun freely when I had them off the car.
Have you checked the mounting bushings for the Rack & Pinion assembly? They do wear out and let the rack become loose with some unwanted movement.
