Default 2004 rx 330 steering rack questions.

I was wondering if a bad/leaking steering rack would cause a clunking sound when turning. Also if the rack is bad how many hours should it take to change?

When I am making turns I hear a clunking noise coming from the passenger side and the boot has oil on it but the fluid in the reservoir doesn't seem low.

When I am driving there is a lot of vibration and when I go over 60 the front end starts to wobble.

I have searched the forums but could not find the answers. I am sure I will have more questions about this. Any help would be appreciated.......thank you

It's your cv axles if they make noise when turning sharply. They will wobble at high speeds as well. Throw car in neutral at high speed and see if the vibration goes away. If so it's your axles.
