Um..................your CV joints are in the back of the car the last time I checked.
Check for a low fluid level. If full, then consider draining if it is yucky brown colored and replace with fresh. If that doesn't help, you may have a leak in either the rack or another part of the system.

I will check the fluid level though.

Take care, you most porbably have air in your steering system (but very little)
That's IF everything is mechanically sound.
In order tpo bleed the PS system do the following:
1) Top up fluid to max mark, NEVER exceeds MAX mark.
2) Turn steering wheel full left, right, left,right (3~4 times)
3)Turn off engine.
4)Switch on engine
5)Turn off engine
Steps 3-5 would cause the PS fluid to drop quickly and remove the air (according to the porsche workshop manual).

Three Wheelin'
I changed my power steering fluid. There was a noticable improvement. I replaced it with Redline auto tranny fluid. Perhaps this would help. I believe the method should take care of any need to bleed.
This was the procedure
"I sucked the ATF from the reservior with a syringe and got about a 1/4 liter out that way, then loosened the reservior and placed a small container under it to catch dripping and removed the intake hose. When the reservior stopped dripping close to 1/3 of a liter had been removed from it. Then I disconnected the return hose.
Previously I had drilled a 1/2" hole in a lid from a old red line bottle and glued 1' of 1/2" hose into it. I placed the end of that hose into the intake hose and took another length of 1/2" hose to run from the return hose into an empty bottle. My brother sat in the drivers seat with a plan of starting the car and turning the wheel. I attached the new bottle of ATF to the lid attached to the intake hose and held it upside down. He started the car and we both were surprised that the power steering ATF was circulating. My fill bottle began to implode and soon I saw fresh new red fluid coming out of the return instead of the old black fluid. I signaled to shutoff the engine, then reassembled and topped up the reservior."
