power steering issue is it the steering rack??

sorry if im clogging up the forums, but after searching around all ive managed to find is cleaning the connectors.
So the story goes about 6 months ago my power steering light went on, took it to the dealer, said replace EPS module. Bought a used one from a member here for 300, took it back and they said its faulty, so after doing research i cleaned the connectors. still no luck. about a month ago, my steering started to be jerky, it almost locks up completly, so i bought another EPS. i just recieved it last week, i went to drive to the dealer, and now the steering is damn near imposible to drive, and i have a loud metal screech noise coming from the front of the car in the engine bay somewhere when i turn the wheel. Im thinking there is no way a computor is causing this.. so does this mean ima need a steering rack also? or is there another possiblity?

Could be the rack got screwed up. Check out www.partgroup.com, www.mazmart.com, or www.revvinsevens.com
