first check if you rack and pinion has enought oil in it
next thing I would check are the tie rods and also where the spindles joint with the lower suspension

Where is this rack and pinion located exactly? Is it easy to get too? |

 bring the car to a mechanic because whatever we could explain to you it's obvious you have no clue how a car works Alain |

I know where the rack and pinion is and its function. In the past i've never done any work on it. So is it some compontent that needs lubrication time to time?
This noise only seems to come from the passengers side only, I never heard it from the drivers. Could it possbily be some balljoint?

steering and suspension noises tend to move around alot because everything is connected in one way or another its easy for a noise on the driver side to move to pass side, and vice versa. best advice, get out of the car and have a friend or family member play with the wheel while you pin down the exact location of the noise, once you know WHERE, you can isolate WHAT is making the noise.

Its hard to isolate the noise because the wheel is in the way and I can't get an stethoscope near the steering suspension components. If I take the wheel off the noise will probably go away because the load and weight will be gone.
