Question rack and pinion or tie rod ends

Ok I'm having a major front end issue and I don't know what to do..

The problem~~~ Front end shakes and knocks when turning car to the left only.. Doesn't do it if turning to the right but there is slack in the steering wheel ..

Auto Shop #1~~~ Drove it down road about 1,000 ft turned around and came back...put it on lift, shook tire and said it was a rack and pinion.. Gave me an outragious price and sent me on my way...

Auto Shop #2~~~ Drove it down road for a few miles.. jacked it up said that i needed new tie rod ends need to be replaced... Said they were shot.. I asked him about the possibility of a rack and pinion being bad and he said that my rack and pinion wasn't leaking and if its not leaking fluid then it's not bad... Gave a much better price then the other people..

New problem~~~ I don't know who to go with.. or which auto shop is right.

I know that it's hard to help without being able to look at the car itself, but I hope that someone can help me please!!!
