Could've stripped teeth off of the cog or the rack.....but, it should be very obvious once a new tie rod is installed whether or not you need the rack and pinion.

I ordered inner and outer tie rod today, when I drove it home there was no sign of any damage no jerking or slipping. There is no fluid leaking. I'm hoping that the tie rods fix it. Rack pinion is expensive for that lil miata.
