suspension clunks, ripped rack boot Options

[Euphoria]

Hey everyone, I've been getting a clunk from the front end whenever I touch the accelerator or back off, I'm aware my rack boot is ripped, could this mean dirt has got in a wrecked my tie rod ends causing them to clunk? I also get this other noise from the front end especially on cold mornings, its hard to explain, all I can say is its sort of a clunk, im guessing its my tie rod ends or my ball joints, anything else it could be? can bad struts make weird noises?

Also both my sway bar bushes have had it, I was originally waiting to change both sway bars but other problems and lack of money has changed that, If I just changed all of them to polyurethane would that be any different in handling?

thanks ahead.

i would check the following:
-motor mounts
-stabilizer links
-sway bar bushings

if the car still drives straight and steers ok, i doubt it has anything to do with the steering rack or ball joints.
and unless you're getting the clunk after hitting a bump, i doubt it would be the struts either.
