My car squeaks, especially when turning the car. I was told it was my struts (which I replaced). Now I am being told is is my rack & pinion. I bought the car a couple of months ago and it has about 209,000 miles on it. How likely is it that I have the rack & pinion replaced?

Would be nice if you could post a sound clip.

When the struts were replaced, were the entire strut assemblies replaced?

Or just the struts themselves?
