The problem is likely the rack. Did you install a new part? What are the details of the repair?

Sounds like the rack's valve body may be bad. That should never happen. it's pretty hard to screw up a rack and pinion install. All you do is connect the lines from the pump and refill the system. I'd return it if you can. Did you buy a remanufactured unit?

i just rebuilt mine a few weeks ago and i think the fittings on the lines were different sizes, so you probably didn't mix them up. the front line has a long flare fitting on it and the rear is just a regular short flare nut. I know the hexes were different, front was 14mm?, and the rear was a 17mm. I doubt you crossed them. I don't think they would even thread into the opposite holes.
