Your steering rack is leaking power steering fluid without any warning light, causing your power steering to gradually fail. You'll need to regularly top off the power steering fluid to maintain steering function. The leak started small around 24,000 miles and may have been initially misdiagnosed as a suspension problem. Fixing this will likely require replacing the steering rack seal or the entire rack assembly.

Your steering column shaft has started making very loud knocking noises, and the bushing that holds it in place appears to be deteriorating or falling apart. This noise is coming from the upper part of the steering column. Fixing this will likely involve replacing the worn bushing and possibly the steering shaft itself.
