I have replaced my steering rack twice now. Both were Motorcraft reman'd racks. The first was swapped at 194k miles in 2016. That one wore out and was replaced under warranty at 221k miles in 2018. This one had a power steering pressure hose port that was bored out. I played hell trying to find an o-ring that would seal it up, getting that o-ring in there was very difficult because it was too big, but every other o-ring sprayed ATF.

I generally prefer factory parts new or reman, in this case I was not impressed but I paid a premium price of course. At least the warranty replacement request was honored without issue.
