steering rack? safety?

so here's the deal: ice storm a few weeks ago and i (GASP) lose control and go into a gaurdrail. no one hurt thankfully. i was able to get it over to my main man and he replaced the steering knuckle, rim, outter tie rod end, lower ball jt. all in all very good work and the car rides fine, however every once in a while, completely randomly- metallic, grinding, popping/cracking noises sound off as if behind the wheel. sometimes they last a while, sometimes just one or two noises and then silence for another 200 miles. the steering gets a hint stiffer, and sometimes the wheel will "pop" slightly after a cracking noise. my opinion is that i've busted some teeth on my rack during the accident, anyone else agree/disagree? also, how long can i leave it like this? i just need to eek out a little trip (400 miles, all highway) this weekend and then i can get it fixed up. thanks
