Power Steering

So the saga continues... brought it in for leaks, was told I need rack overaul.

Did it, still leaked, was told the rack was bad.

Got another rack, now steering wheel does not center on curvy roads, stays turned.

Was told this is because rack is tight and old rack was loose.

Any thoughts? I used to be able to turn the wheen with one finger and it always ventered back. Now I really have to turn it and it is so tight it will not center.

I'd put up on a rack or front jack stands.
Then push the tire to turn the steering left & right.
Check for any abnormal noise or binding.

Then drop the front bottom plastic trace the leak back to it's source.
