I have a 2008 Santa Fe, In May we took it to a shop to have new tires and an alignment done. Since this time we have had to replace two tie rod ends and two rack and pinions.
The original rack blew the seal on the right side after an alignment, we replace the rack and 5 days later the right side blew again. Now two weeks later and another rack, the seals blew on both sides and filled both boots up with fluid. The shop is now trying to put the blame on everything but another bad rack.
I need help to figure out if we are just getting bad racks or is there another reason the system keeps blowing seals. Thanks
First pictures are the blown boots for 2 rack and then the third rack with boots filled.
