    I'm trying to figure out a clunk on my 2014 CT200h. It is a faint clunk going over small imperfections on the road and I am able to replicate the sound going slow and turning the wheel left to right quickly.

    I have checked everything at this point and I'm getting ready to order a steering rack. I was just hoping maybe someone here has had this issue because I see a few threads with Prius having bad steering racks.

    I have checked the steering shaft joints, the bolts even replaced the small plastic steering damper. The suspensions is all tight with no play in any of the tie rods. Sway bar links are new (Took off the sway bar and the sound was still there) New struts and top plates as well.

    Here is a clip of the sound:
