Folks, just a bit more info on what caused that clunking on the front
end of my 53 TD.
When I took the rack and pinion out of the car both inner ball joints
were so stiff and not moving as to transfer all the wheel jounce right
to the rack and housing! This with a rack that I lubricated with 90
weight very often.
Putting back a rack housing that has 2 dampers, one on each end and tie
rods with the proper free play.

Cheers and thanks to all for your input,
Dave Houser
