Hi all, need some help wisdom please. Have a 2004 dodge ram slt, 166k miles. Had to replace the rack pinion with a remanufactured Cardone, 9 months ago. It failed after 1500 miles. Got a brand new cardone and fluids are starting to spot on my driveway again. Use the truck for work and can't keep having this issue. Need this dealt with as it's costing me money. Very small dots of steering fluid but it's peppered all over the driveway when I park. When backing up the truck sometimes there is a heavy taxing sound on the steering area. Not sure if it might be a pressure issue that is causing the rack to burst seals. Can't find a place to that sell's original manufactures rack as it's too old. Any info thank you for your time.
