Clunking or knocking when jiggling steering wheel
Had my wife jump in the GL450 today and jiggle the steering wheel as part of troubleshooting a front passenger tire with serious outer wear.
I can hear a clunk or knock when she jiggled the steering wheel back and forth. I can't isolate it unfortunately just because the sound resonates. Car has new Lemfoerder end links. The bushings on the sway bars look okay but I have a new set I will be putting on. However, the knock is not coming from those bushings.
Open to advice on the source of this clunk when moving the steering wheel around with the engine off and ignition on.

Outer tie rod ends
inner tie rod ends
steering rack bushing
troubleshoot this yourself, put a set of chassis ears on each individual part to eliminate or find the culprit.
