I HAVE A 99 TAURAS LX THE OTHER DAY AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR STRTED MAKING NOISE AND IT WAS HARD FOR ME 2 TURN. WHEN I GOT HOME I THOUGH I JUST NEEDED SOME POWER STEERING FLUID SO I PUT SOME IN AND RAN THE CAR AND TURNED THE WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT THE NOISE CONTINUED. ALL THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS GONE AND AFTER INVESTIGATION I FOUND ALL THE POWER STEERING FLUID ON THE GROUND UNDER THE CAR. I FINALLY TOOK THE TIRE OFF AND I SEEN THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING FROM THE RACK AND PINION TUBE THING. I WANTED TO KNOW DO I JUST NEED THE RACK AND PINION REPAIR BOOTH OR THE WHOLE RACK AND PINION OR MAYBE DO I NEED A TIE ROD. THANKS.

 

If it's leaking out of the boot, and no other placelike a hose/fitting, the repair is a rack replacement...
