Troubleshooting power steering after pump, rack &pinion have been replaced

no, if you have power steering fluid leaking into the boot it means your power steering piston/rod/cylinder has leaking seals.
replace the cylinder (what you attached the boots to) or rebuild the packing.

A bad seal in the rack and pinion would have caused low pressure from fluid by-passing the seal. This also would have caused noticeably increased effort to steer the vehicle. Excessively high pressure would indicate an issue between the power steering pump and the rack, and since the hoses have been replaced I would focus on the pump. PS, find a real mechanic, not a parts changer.

DISCONNECT TIE RODS ENDS FROM WHEEL HUB, DISCONNECT POWER STEERING HOSE FROM RACK AND PINION, DISCONNECT RACK AND PINION FRON LOWER ENGINE COMPARTMENT

These details will help.
Thanks.

if the rack and pinion was not leaking or causing problems. then he may of made a wrong move! if the rack was fine before, and you just lost power steering. then it is most likely the power steering pump or the lines that go from rack to the pump. good-day ! if a rack goes bad, you will get a bad steering problem or just bad steering.

A good shop can replace the Rack & Pinion for $400 to $500 and should include the required front-end alignment. Are you sure it's not one of the hoses.

If the line from the power steering pump to the rack and pinion is leaking, replace it.

If the rack and pinion is leaking replace it.

If the power steering pump itself is leaking, then replace it.

Which section is leaking?

why did you replace the fluid? it could be the pump, but pressure needs to be checked. when you turn steering wheel all the way to the stop, it should whine somewhat. Make sure the belt is tight.

The power steering hose,goes down under the power steering pump,it goes directly down from the pump,and cuts under the engine to the rack and pinion,both hoses do.If this was helpful,please rate,thank you.

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.
