Default steering rack

hi all have a little problem (well hope its little) got my car back earlier from have new bottom ball joints fitted but noticed if i sit still with the engine running and put the steering in a dead ahead position then turn the wheel slightly from left to right i can feel like a clunk and feels like the steering rack is moving slightly,only seems to do it when the car is sitting still just wondering if anyone has had the same problem,hope its something as simple as a steering rack bush any help would be great,it a my99 rb5 with about 105k miles on the clock.

take your wheels off and check all the bolts are tight on the running gear, also check bushes for splits, excessive movement etc. It will more than likely be a track rod end that has play in it.
