some people never replace the rack and pinion. It's one of those things that you don't replace unless it NEEDS to be replaced. It's usually expensive, even to do yourself. A good way to keep power steering components from needing to be replaced is to install a magnefine filter in the Power Steering return line. Google "magnefine power steering filter". It's about $16 and WELL worth the investment!
Sounds like you have a bad seal on the rack and pinion. The bellows is only to keep dirt and water out of the rack and pinion, it is not a seal to hold pressure in.

It's not always necessary to replace tie rods when replacing a rack and pinion, but it is often recommended. If the tie rods show signs of wear, damage, or play, they should be replaced to ensure proper steering performance and alignment. Additionally, since the labor for replacing the rack and pinion involves accessing the tie rods, doing both at the same time can save on future labor costs. Always consult a mechanic for a thorough inspection before making a decision.
