Take it back to the garage. maybe not the new rack but the L or r upper strut spring mount binding causing the spring to twist then to boing back into place. not the techs fault mind you.when the suspension is hung garbage is dislocated around the bearing.

SOURCE: steers hard when turning around

try lucas power steering stop-leak. drain some of the fuild and then pour that in. it is for surging rack & pinions, not just for leaks. if that doesn't work then you may have a defective rebuilt rack.
check power steering pump pressure, might be weak.

SOURCE: how to replace rack and pinion on chevy 2003

Silverados do not have rack and pinion steering. The steering box is bolted to the frame on the drivers side, that can be removed by removing the bolts holding it on, the steering shaft bolts, and the pitman arm.

SOURCE: 05 silverado hard to turn. new pump! is it a bad rack?

since the rack is used it could be defective. aligning the vehicle will not loosen the steering up

Left side not moving on Dixie Chopper Zee 2 mower

Hello. It seems your mower has a defective/malfunctioning 'rack and pinion' unit; the left arm is 'stripped' in. That arm won't move like it should. To remedy this problem, a new/refurbished 'rack and pinion' unit is required. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

My rack and pinion is starting to go bad. Now it makes a popping sound when I turn sometimes. What causes that?

Unless the rack is moving side to side due to loose bolts or warn bushings it is almost impossible for it to make any type of noise at all,
if poping noises can be heard turning the wheel while the car is parked you have one of a few different problems,
1, worn ball joints
2, warn control arm bushings
3, worn tie rods
4, worn upper strut mount bearings

The rack and pinion can usually be rejuvenated by flushing the system and adding Lucas rack and pinion sealer, this seals it internally also making it work much better.

How to fix rack and pinion on 1999 chevy silverado 1500

Since this is a truck, you have a gearbox instead of a rack and pinion.
I would expect you to find a faulty ball joint or control arm problem.
I would recommend taking it to a tire shop or someone who does alignments. And get at least two different estimates.

2006 chevy impala rack and pinion changed

IF you had the rack replaced and did not align it is possible the wheels are so far out that tires are scrubbing road causing noise. other thing could be a wheel bearing i would recommend getting alignment and drive

99 Olds alero will only turn to the right. On quick inspection found that the rack and pinion moves with turning the wheels. Is it supposed to?

The whole rack & pinion does NOT move! Only the rod out of either end of it. If the main body, where the hoses connect, is moving the mounting bolts are missing, or broken.

Normally any vehicle with rack & pinion steering, that will not turn left equals a bad rack & pinion.
The "wont turn left" is the classic industry wide indicator that the rack & pinion is worn out.

Power steering noise on turning; noticed no power

Check the ends of your rack & pinion for signs of a leak. If a leak is present, replace the rack & pinion. If no leaks, maybe your power steering pump is going out.

2007 ford focus clicking noise in steering column

This clicking noise that you said does it do it when you turn? If so your problem lies in your CVJoints. Constant velocity joints are attached to the steering mechanism. Try an experiment first. Get the vehicle at about 15 mph and do a small donut (controlled) parking lot would be easier for this and safer. Then turn the opposite direction. If the clicking noise is on both directions then you might as well replace both inner and outer CV joints for the right and left side. It might be your rack and pinion as well. The joints fail first before your rack and pinion so check that first. You may want to see the fluid level on the rack and pinion to see if that was the problem. Check the cheapest thing first. Let me know Gabe.
