I had my rack and pinion replaced and soon after my car started making these noises. Please help I’m just a girl here that knows nothing about cars and I’m trying to get some understanding of what could be wrong before I take it to a mechanic.

No problem, and thank you for the videos, it helps. it sounds like the problem is your struts or strut mounts. I would take the car in ASAP. Here is what may need to be done to fix the car. Also, have them check the sway bar links and frame mounts as well. Please let me know what they say and how much they are charging you so I can make sure they are not overcharging you. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
