Only got to drive the car a couple of times before it got tore down but now it's coming along and I need to address this. Wheel has about a 1" slop in both directions and the clunk is coming from down around the gas pedal. Granted there a rack down there and some u-joint type of connections. Anyone have this before and what did you do.
Believe it or not the car actually drove ok with this movement but I'm not making this car nice to have this kind situation.

Edit: oh yeah.... 1973. Renegade. 911 suspension. Look like Bilsteins on the front and KYB with 200 Lb coil overs on the rear.

Dave,
I had this once after having an alignment done. Turns out the left front wheel lug nuts were on only hand tight!
Get under the car and recheck the steering rack bolts. Maybe all the bolts in the steering linkage..
Coupler may be toast. Its under tank, in front and to the right of gas pedal.
