Rack & Pinion or lower control arm noise?

Hey guys, Been to the dealership and the local mechanic shop and neither can come to the same conclusion. I've got this weird grinding noise when turning the wheel ever slightly at any speed. It also creaks when I park and get out of the truck (doesn't just happen when turning the wheel).

Dealership thinks it's the Lower Control Arm bushing as it has completely separated. The mechanic says it's the rack & pinion boot.
