Default Steering clunk...

I’ve got an annoying clunk coming from my steering system.

I’ve replaced both track rod ends in the last couple of weeks, all the tie rods are about a year old and the steering coupling (collapsible type) is in good order. There appears to be no play in the idler arm (bush was replaced 5 years ago).

I got my missus to turn the wheel whilst I checked for any obvious causes: the ‘clunk’ appears to be coming from the steering box. With my hand placed on it, I can feel vibration on the outside of the casing. It seems to be most prominent with the steering wheel turned 80% to the right.

It’s full of the correct oil and there appears to be aprox 4 turns of adjustment on the top screw.

Will I need a new or replacement box of is there a way around this?

I note that Brookhouse sell re-bushing kits. Is this likely to help? Easy job? (never messed about with a steering box before and I don’t want to screw it up!)

Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated as always.

Car is a 1970 133 if this makes any difference.
