I think your problem is that you keep buying used parts. Where exactly is it leaking at? Your post kind of confuses me haha

 

its leaking from the inner tie rod boot

 

Then I'd try replacing the boot first. You may not be able to find just the boot so you may just have to replace the whole inner tie rod.

 

correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure the boot is to keep dust away from the greased up inner tie rod...

 

Okay, then replace the steering rack. It's more or less a trial and error thing when it comes to fixing issues with steering.

 

Yeah all the boot does is keep out water/ dust/ debris. Sounds like you need a new rack thurrrrr man. Toyota racks are usually the way to go, rebuilds can be iffy and you know a toyota rack will last for 150k +
