Few issues after a while

Hi, all haven't been on here for a while have got quite bit of knowledge but would appreciate the help.
Right first one by turning steering lightly to the right, half or full lock a very loud kind of creak noise appears constant comes and goes with this cold its constant. Will anything require greasing or lubricating or is it the rack. Would it be better to replace rack with another used one from a breaker or just freshen the rod ends and rods with meyle parts and fit new slider..?
Other one while going over humps I get a noise coming from the rear drivers side any ideas please all mechanics are busy at the moment I've tried one place but not had much from there apart from there is slight play in rear. Thanks in advance.
 
Anyone ?? Also I was thinking to get the car under sealed again and to remove the rear arch liner fabrics. Can I wash these in the washing machine and fit them back at some point once the wax has cured or shall I just get rid of them?
 
You can check the tie rods by raising the car and grabbing each wheel and check for movement.

Thanks for replying. There is slight movement with inner rods is this normal. I also get a heavy rack at times was thinking maybe to get another rack and take it from there. Or upgrade the rods and ends to meyle does this sound as if it will help? Thanks
 

The mot was done and they have said that there is slight play in the inner steering rack joint. It's also been to honda specialist local he cant seem to see a problem with steering. So should I change the rods and ends with meyle parts and a genuine slider will this be the best way to start as I've never had to change any of these parts since I've had car. The creak is coming from left side so I'm guessing maybe just replace tie rods or do I change rods and tie rods? I've checked rack and tried to move it as it's been done on the video link above no play at all seems solid. Thanks
