      You didn’t mention if the part is OEM or aftermarket
      they are making the vehicles so that you have to get a original dealership part .aftermarket will just not work sometimes ..
      I mean they designed the engine around the spark plug yes the spark plug comes first wait that’s wrong they designe the warranty first
      And then design everything to fail just after the warranty is over..
      I’ve seen them have recalls because lets say the spark plugs were failing before the warranty was over they would
      recall all the vehicles to add a spark plug that would last till just after the warranty has expired..

        I would start at the beginning somehow you did not aligned the rack and steering wheel correctly when you put it back on look at it closely and then look at it again its very easy to be a couple of degrees to a whole 180 degrees off
        it should be done as a two-man operation just to make sure nothing gets moved during alignment check the rack part number against the VIN number of the vehicle there may have been a change mid-production and the parts guy gave you the wrong one.
        They know somtines they’re going to have to recall the vehicle back while it’s in production they just assess the cost and it’s cheaper just recall or send out a TSB later than to stop production let’s say from May on it comes with a different improved rack everything before that got the old rack, the one that they knew was going to give problems .
        a recall you would maybe hear about but only if enough people complain that they are forced to do a recall and tell those affected but tsb’s are there littel secrects they tell only there techs about at the dealerdhip level..
        .hope it helps
