Manual Steering Rack Clunk

So I have replaced the two rubber steering joint couplings under my van. The one attachef to the steering column, once the bolts were out I had to use a hammer to tap it off the splines. Reassembled it all and now there appears to be a clunk when turning stationary, mainly when steering to the right. It will clunk but steers fine but worried now that the rack has had it. Any ideas?

could be tie rod, wear is noticeable when load is higher is stationery

When I am under the van and an assistant turns the steering half a turn left and right I can feel a clonk coming from the rack. As its a rack and pinion I am thinking one of the teeth of the pinion wheel is damaged. Anyone ever disassembled one of these to look?
