Is the fluid full? If you can still turn the wheel both directions smoothly (same amount of effort both directions), then I'd doubt it's the rack. When they fail they typically get so stiff that you cannot steer, especially to the left.
What was original problem, fluid leak? If you drove all winter without fluid you will need a pump plus fix the leak.
Had fluid. Fluid got boiled basically. When having fun in parking lot. Got lots of air in the system. Went to work right after cause it was whinning and flushed the fluid with new. And it is full. Lost it like 5 days after flush. Always was full. And it's pretty hard to steer. But easier since it's snowwy
Just remember I have that rack laying in garage
if your driving the car with no power to the steering, if the rack wasn't dead and the cause, its dead now.
never drive with no power steering, the rack always pays the price.
I only go fast in straight lines anyway
