No I didn't what's the best way to check that? Sorry I'm a bit handicapped my health isn't the best and it's been really hot here in California 100+ but Today seems nice enough to take a look.

if steering rack went bad, there will be oil (power steering fluid) dripping near the firewall.

btw, the powersteering pumps do go bad, and a rebuild (replacement of seals) will usually fix the problem.

any whining?
is steering wheel unusually hard to turn?
