My steering rack used to make a groaning sound, particularly in cold weather. I drained out the PS fluid and just put new regular PS fluid in. I ran it a while (1,000 miles) and changed it again. Groaning noise never returned, and its been a few years now since that fluid change. My assumption is that the fluid loses the chemical properties that keep the seals soft. Fresh fluid must have renewed the seals in addition to removing any particles in the system. Now I use a turkey baster to draw out the fluid from the reservoir with every other oil change and top it off with fresh fluid.
I would try changing the fluid before spending big money.
