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.

well I jacked the car up, there is no movement in the tie rod ends or anywhere and ball joints, tie rod ends still have there rubber, only things that need replacing are the sway bar bushes and the rack boot, what I think has happen is that dirt has got in the boot or something, there is also a noise it makes when i turn the steering when its held by the jack, its like a creek noise at a certain point of the steering.
