Knock noise

Just wanted to see if anyone can give some input on where I have a knock noise coming from. Basically it is in my steering and it can be heard when I turn my where back and forth. Which I think it is on the driver side.

This and I've also seen both the power steering rack or stabilizer bar mounts cause alot of racket. You can inspect all rubber bushings simply by turning wheel to the extreme left or right. If nothing obvious is seen, get a pry bar or large flathead screwdriver and wedge it between the points at which any metal suspension/steering components meet. If nothing is found, lift the car up, place jack stands beneath it and do the same underneath. Maybe even have somebody turn the wheel back and fourth while doing any of the procedures above...namely the visual inspection part.

Shouldn't be the ball joints since I did those last spring when I thought those were making knocking noise. Which ended up being the sway bar bushings. I ended up replacing the front and rear for those since they had play earlier this summer.

This is a new noise someplace else and I think yungone501 probably is right with it coming from the power steering rack. Anyone have a possible part number that is related to the power steering so i know what to look at?
