just throwing this out there............. isn't it a problem if you let it run dry where damage maybe caused to the rack itself from drying out also? That could end up being an even more costly repair.

The steering rack can't "dry out".

I've heard this before too. Power steering pump failure could lead to steering rack failure.

It's sad to see these cars nickeled and dimed to death.
