More likely a problem with the control arms and or motor / transmission
mounts.
The steering rake would be more likely to exhibit problems by leaking
fluid which you can check by feeling the rubber accordion boots on the
rack. I have seen rack mounting bolts loosen up can cause clunking but
it is rare.
