I figured out what the play was and it was because my strut wasn't tight enough to the knuckle but now when I back up and turn the wheel to the right I hear a clunking sound is that the CV axle

When ever I have ran into that it seems to have always been the lower control arm bolt was loose where it bolts to the frame.Make sure its really tight.
