Pulls one way when accelerating, pulls another way when braking. Steering feels loose. When I go over railroad tracks it makes a ton of racket, like a bad strut mount. Everything in the entire front end is brand new now, except for the rack itself.

New energy suspension control arm bushings (double and triple checked the tightness), new struts and mounts, new inner and outer tie rods, new ball joints, and wheel bearings are tight and don't make any noise. The only option left is the rack itself. Alignment wouldn't cause a rattle over bumps.

What type of springs you running? Coilover sleeves?
Is it a noise or can you feel it too?Ian Boyd- Bellingham, WA (click vehicle to view)

I would also say check the brake calipers, but that wouldnt cause the steering to feel loose.
How are the rack bushings? That could cause all those symptoms.92 Mazda MX3 GS> For sale, $1750 OBO

You should pull the rack and strip it down to see if you can find the issue, then re-seal it back up for manual steering? Just a suggestion if you're not wanting to source another rack.-Jack
