I logged in, but it did not take.

Who replaced the rack? what fluid did they fill it up with?

I would ask them to top it off with the same fluid.

Perhaps they did not properly purge the air out of the system, hence the low fluid.

When I replaced the rack on our '90 744TI I parked the front wheels on a stack of cardboard (to reduce tire friction) and turned the wheels lock to lock about 10 times, then I did the same thing driving down my quiet street. Then I topped the fluid off.
