breeze steering noise

Hi everyone.I have a 98 breeze.I'm geting a knocking noise which i think is in my steering column.when i'm driving i can hear the knock when i go over bumps or rough road.when the car is parked if i shake the wheel from side to side i can hear it as well.I was told that it could be the rack but i had that replaced and it never fixed the problem.Any help would be greatly apreciated.

check your outer tie rod ends just had one of mine broke not a good thing
