What is your question?
I heard a whne noise/growl when turning steering wheel a sharp turn so almost all the way to right, checked pwr steering fluid it was only down about a tablespoon so got fluid put it in and noise stopped totally. Checked the boot by taking clamp off and there was fluid in it. Is this normal? Does it mean the rack is bad and if so how do I change it. I am a mechanic. but not up on Hyundais so wanted to know how to change the rack. thanks!

A "tablespoon" of fluid ... Drive the car and see how much it looses in say a week or two before doing anything else! .. You don't want to replace the rack unless it absolutely necessary.. It's a bitch to replace and fairly expensive.
Thank you for the reply. I figured it is a bitch and no small job, but really did want to know just what it entails to do it if I need to down the road. I def will drive car and wouldn't even think of doing a rack unless it does become neccesary and it would be a winter job at that. Can you tell me do you have to drop the sub frame? It looks almost like you almost have to pull the engine to do it. I just want to be prepared in case the worst happens. Is it normal for a rack to go at 62K? I take it there should not be fluid in the boot? I didn't think it was anyway. Thanks again for the answer and I look forward to your next reply.
Copy and paste this link > â–ªï¸http://youtu.be/N-tx60G4g7gâ–ªï¸Reply back, got some more info.
sorry but that link didn't take me to anything I needed. Were you sending me a link for a repair manual? been there tried that,even the free one and can't get it downloaded. I am not great on computers. Did your message say you had more info for me and to reply back? That is the way I read it anyway. Thanks

thanks got it this time. last time it was showing crash tests. LOL Thank you for your help!! Sure does look like a bitch of a job, hope I don't need to do it. I did find a rack and pinion on Amazon for about $165 free shipping. it is remanufactured. I think name was delta axel,somehting like that. I am going to write to Hyundai and see if they will do anything. probably not but hey doesn't cost anything to ask. It only has 62K on. Thanks again!!
I totally agree! .. No way the rack should be leaking at that mileage! .. IF you can talk to the right person at Hyundai, I bet they will help you out.. Good luck with it..
