Default 96 accord clunking noise in passenger tire

Whenever im driving at low speeds the passenger tie is very wobbley and makes clunkling sounds. Ive changed all my suspension, ball joints, cv axles, sway bar links, wheel bearings but the sounds just recently started. My car is slammed so im not sure if that affects anything but, any help?

inner and outer tie rods? being slammed has some effect im sure.
inner tie rods usual never get replaced and if you did indeed change out them other components that should narrow it down.

well now that you said that, it does feel a bit loose. can they be tightened or does that mean the steering rack is bad?

they cannot be tightened only replaced if bad. they screw into the rack. go to google images and type in accord inner tie rod. there is a ball joint on the inner tie rod and they do go bad specially for an older car.

Okay gotcha. Makes sense. I'll pick some tie rods up tomorrow morning then. Hopefully it solves the problem. I wouldn't think it'd be the rack because it's only one side. But I'm knowledgeable about motor work, suspension and chassis parts aren't my thing. Thanks for the help. I'll get back with results
