Front driver side rumble/clunk sound

[m_240sx]

So Tuesday I was driving to work. I hit a little bump in the road and I heard my front end make a pop sound. I stoped at the next stop light and at idle my car started making a clunking noise and a lille popping sound when I turned (left) so I pulled into a parking lot got out looked under my car and saw this (see attached photo. So that evening replaced the tie rod and boot. The noise isn't as bad now but its still there a little bit.. what else could it be? I greased the boot up very good. Do u guys think maybe it just needs to be driven a little to relubricate or something else?

For everyone information its a 92 240sx coupe lowered on Megan coilovers.

CHeck your ball joint too... and make sure the caliper is on good & tight.

When checking the ball joint what should I look for to let me know if its ok or not.

Grab the wheel and shake it left and right and have someone else look for the ball joint to move. Also shake it at diagonal angles. Sometimes a ball joint will only have play a certain direction.

^^Grab the wheel at the top and bottom and try to wiggle it in/out... If it wiggles and is pivoting on the ball joint; it's toast.
