Arghhhhhh!
Well today went to WannaBeGearHeads place and we tried doing the steering rack creak fix of Cliffy's. The tube bushing were seized in pretty good so couldn't get them out to trim.
So went the next best route and just plastered the whole area with synthetic grease to see if that would help. Got everything back together and started the car up turned the wheel a few times and creak was still there. Its better, steering wheel feels more fluid than before but damn squeak remains. Turns out the drivers side balljoint is the culprit. So now need to get them replaced. 

I guess though its better to find it like it is now rather than while driving down the road months later.
