Default steering question

I recently put on my drop with a set of Steeda heavy duty sway bars and ever since then when i turn all the way left or right i get a poping noise from the steering rack. Ive notice that the passenger wheel has been rubing the sway bar. The ends of the steering rack are leaking fluid from the boots. I have the eibach pro kit and havent heard of anyone complaining about it lowering the car to the point where the steering gets so stressed it leaks oil. Could i have messed somthing up during the install of the springs?? I had to really push down on the control arms to get the springs in. thanks for the input

Default RE: steering question

so i took my car to get alined and i asked them to check out the rack to see whats causing the prob. after the took off the rack and gave it a look they told me its leakin pretty bad and that its gonna leak worse now that they took it apart. I didnt ask anyone to take it apart i said look at it and tell me what you think not make things worse. so now they want $600 to change out the steering rack!! Am i being taken for a ride?? would that really be that much or do i even need to have a leaky rack replaced?
