If you're in southern california I have a local shop that does all my steering rack/CV joint rebuilds. I've got ~30k+ on my rebuilt rack from them without issue.

When they changed the rack what about cleaning or purging the lines and that is the best time for a new or reman pump, it needs clean oil. If there was junk from the system introduced into the rack that won't help matters.
