My steering boogle....

Pressure line blew after replacement of Motor 1 causing fire.
Replaced pressure line and return line that melted.
Replaced pump also since the front seal was leaking, but not whining yet...

(at this point I have new pump and both lines new)

Reman pump SERIOUSLY whined... So I figured well maybe the rack sucked in air and ruined my rack since the pump was "new". Replaced rack.

New pump, new pressure line, new return line, new rack... Still whine.

Took car in for alignment, blew rack seal 5 miles down the road. Here comes rack #2.

I did good myself with the alignment and it pulled straight with no issues so I figured I'd drive it until I bought new tires (needed them soon anyway)

Got new tires, had alignment done, blew rack seal next day. (I blamed it on the alignment since our cars have no sleves and the alignment shop turned the rods sticking out of the rack to do the alignemnt messing up the seals) They understood, whatever....

Rack #3 installed and alignment done... No leaks, still whines... So I said WTH, I have lifetime on the pump, I'll get a new one and try. Maybe I got a bad one from the start. Pump #2 installed, still whined after 4 months... Not bad but when turning it does a little. I said F it, I'll live with it.. LOL

Don't mean to scare you with my story, I just may have that great luck after 3 racks, 2 pumps and a pair of lines... BUT hey, I can change out the complete steering system in about 30 minutes now..
