squeaking sound from front end?

When I turn the wheel really hard my front end is making a squeaking sound. I thought it needed PS fluid but I checked and its perfectly fine and there's no other leaks that I can see. It doesn't really do it when I turn the wheel to the left, and its not the wheel hitting something. Any ideas? All I can come up with is PS rack or something with the struts maybe? What am I looking at if the steering rack is toast? Is it something I can do myself? How much would labor cost for a new steering rack?

Yea I know my tie rods are on their way out. Don't I need a special tool to change those out? Has anyone ever attempted it?

no special tool you just have to knock them out of the spindle with a hammer, and try to get the new one in the same position cause it will mess up your alignment, your thinking of ball joints, cuase you heed a ball joint press to do those
