I had a power steering rack installed on my car which was defective. It dumped all of the fluid into the boots on the rack. So the car ran for maybe 20 minutes to half an hour with very little or no fluid. Surely this was not good for the pump, but would this have done enough damage to warrant replacing it? Either way, I plan on thoroughly flushing the lines and pump before having the new rack installed.
