Default 2004 c5 z06 Steering

Driving slow, racking the steering left and right hard, there is a clunk noise in the front end on both sides. I have checked ball joints tie rods mounts, ect. Any ideas???
Thanks
John

check the rubber bushing on the passenger side where the rack mounts to the cradle and the steering shaft, also make sure all of these bolts are tight
