My 1993 200Tdi has a clunk when moving laft or right when used in wet weather. When dry, no clunk.

I assume this is coming from the steering somewhere. But on inspection can't find anything.

I wonder if it's the pannard rod all solid and the bushes look ok. or the steering damper OME 3 yrs old but the bushes look fine. There are no vagaries in the steering.

Any ideas?

Like most suspension stuff it's not difficult, just heavy and dirty. It's often difficult to separate the ball joint from the holder. You'll find this much easier off the vehicle, if you have a vice and bench to work on.
 
Just another thought - how are your steering joints in the front hubs? Jack up the wheels and try to move the wheel top to bottom. Any play means wear in the bearings (or bush/bearing on older models)
