Hello all!  
I have a 2007 Honda Fit at around 120k miles. Recently a new noise developed in the front of the car. I pinned it down to either the inner tie rod or rack and pinion. I provided a video of the noise. It happens over some bumps as well. Any advice or anyone has gone through a similar issue. There is play at the 3 to 9 o’clock position but that’s both wheels. Also, the noise is coming more from the passenger side.

It looks like the bottom of the strut is loose in the steering knuckle.

Drive it very slowly to the nearest shop.
