I have just exchanged the steering rack on me Vectra after blowing a hole in the seal?
After much headache and many wet pairs of trousers & undies I finally got it reassembled, And the steering fluid level is holding at the correct mark all an annoying clunk has developed at the same time lurches in an slight upward motion and as far as I know all nuts/bolts track rods gear linkage and all engine anchor mounts are in & tightened to torque and what a job it is just to yank out the rack. Any way can any body enlighten me as to what could be potential causes in addition an engine management light accompanies the problem but I dont know if thereis any connection?
no the pipes only go on one way the thread width's are different and the system was bled and then re bled its more of an impact noise as apposed to a hissy whine or dry pump sounds I got a feeling its something to do with the suspension/ rollbar/ radius arm kind of area. Just a hunch

1. This could be that there is still air in the system or you could have the hoses backwards. You need to take it to a front end alignment shop and have them check the alignment and do a road test. Do this because if it were to fail on you on the road, it will be VERY BAD2. Check to see if you have a broken tie rod.
Also, with an idiot light instead of a guage, you can't tell what's wrong when it comes on.
There really COULD be something wrong with the engine, or it might be just the sending unit.
