It's making a weird noise and I'm going on a trip. If it goes out will it wreck the rack and pinion?

Think of any time that you rolled your car into a spot or out of a driveway without turning your car on, it'll probably be that hard.

I guess it depends on how strong you are. As long as you only try to steer while you are moving, it won't be too bad.
