W205 Steering Squeak

https://streamable.com/42p6kkHi all, recently I realized there is a rubber squeak from the steering after driving for 30mins. Doesn’t happen during cold start, only comes after driving for awhile. Some of the workshop mentioned the steering rack needs to be replaced, tried searching online for more information but can’t find a definite answer. Thank you!

The rubber beneath the steering would be the area near the footwell am I right? Would be perfect if you happen to have photo to point out where to spray the grease at.

Sorry about this but it has been a while since I wrote what was written in the thread I linked you and right now I am away from the vehicle so unable to take photos for you. Sorry about that : (
