I've replaced my rack&pinon within the past year w/ a auto zone piece. Since then, dumped a ridiculous amount in replacing all of the power steering hoses " O.E. Parts" as they were "seeping" all over the drive way. In the end, the new pressure blew out the passenger seal in the "new" auto zone rack and i still ended up with a leak, squeals etc. Now i have a horrible knock in the passenger side. I've noticed there is a upper motor mount with a bad bushing that i can move with my hand. I dont think that would cause the knock, maybe a strut? but the strut seems fine, so a little lucas power steering fluid seems to stop the leak, but still have whistling and a knock going down the road but subsides in cornering..? please help, & thanks for any opinions.

Things that can make a knock on the front of this car are:

Upper strut mount is worn out (the strut is typically OK), sway bar bushing and sway bar end link.

The engine mount would not make a noise like this when going over bumps.

 

this is very helpful, what about those noise inside my car is that in the engine or just a couple of things inside my car?
