the popping noise you hear is not from steering components. check your strut rod bushings or heim joints, if you have heim joints, lubricate them with silicone based lubricants. also check the bolts that hold the strut rods under the radiator core support. when you buy a rebuilt rack and pinion, they usually come with new inner tie rods. if power steering fluid is not actually dripping on the ground from the rack seals, you might just need new boots.
