Re: Front-End Knock - Tie Rods?

Well I inspected the front end as best I could and here's what I found:

~The lower motor mount looks completely smashed so I have a solid rubber one on the way.
~No play in the tie rods/ends at all.
~The CV boots look great and there is no play on the wheel ball joint side, but if you grab the CV axle and wiggle it, there is a little play - more so on the driver side. Is that normal?
~Tranny mount looks old, but not falling apart or anything.
~Control arm bushing looks old and a little cracked but still intact.
