I.m on my second intrepid. I bought a 95 in June and had the clunking problem. A mechanic wanted $350 to fix it. Basically get the front tires off the ground. If there is excessive play when you turn them it is probably the inner tierod bushing. They cost 6.99 at any aut parts store. I changed them on the 95 with a 3.3 engine in a few hours. About 15 minutes to loosen the steering gear unbolt and replace and 1 hour 45 minutes looking for the bolts and washers that fall on top of the tranny.
If you are gonna do it, loosen all the mounting bolts on both sides of the steering gear so you can push it back a few inches. Then it is basically flatten out the lock washer and loosen.
I got in an accident with the 95 that crushed the computer, so I just bought her a 94 ES. Same problem, but with the 3.5 motor, I cant see the tierods to save my life. I guess it would be easier to pull the motor to change them.
