This may seem like a silly sidebit, but my last 900 was doing exactly the same thing, I changed the rack and the problem continued. I thought the rebuilt rack must have been bad as well (it wouldn't have been the first time) so I was ready to try one more time. For some reason, i decided to put the new dash in my car at the same time. I can't remember why, but I decided to take the steering mechanism off as well. In doing so, I realized that my problem had not been the rack, but the universal joint on the steering column was seized. i couldn't hardly get it to move with a hammer and vice. I changed that with a 10 dollar replacement at the local junk shop and all was smooth turning from then on.
It may save a dime or two. have someone turn the wheel and really try and see if that joint (from inside the engine compartment) is seizing at all.
Good luck.
