Icon6 steering problems

I got a 94 eg hatch si... I took the power steering out like a year ago and now while I'm driving and everytime I hit a bump it makes a click kinda noise and turns my steering wheel to the left and right not like out of control.. it jus go left to right really quick with the noise.. I think is coming from the steering rack and I don't really know what to do.. some of my friends said it can b the wheel bearing and tie rod. Any clue??

not really, just make sure u get the rubber boot along (seals between rack an firewall)with the manual rack, the manual one is longer, pretty simple swap, alot easier with the motor out thou.
