Also, if I'm not moving, it is hard to turn the steering and the noise gets a little louder when I try to turn the wheel. After a while it goes away, usually after shut off the car for a while. Then, things go back to "normal".
Any suggestions? I'm not sure how the steering system is related to each part.
Thanks!!

I've assumed you have already checked the fluid level. Your problem sounds more like the power steering pump and not the rack and pinion. Symptoms of a rack heading South are normally a lot worse.
Try some Seafoam additive and it may help reduce the whining.
