Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

Did they do an alignment when they replaced the rack? with out actually hearing the noise, this may be the lock stops rubbing or it could be the pump un loading pressure as you are on full lock, dose the noise stop if you back off th steering just a tiny amount? so its not hanging on full lock?
