After you reconnect the hoses, run the rack back and forth before putting the car back on the ground. If you get a pulsating and notchy feeling while turning the steering wheel it is probably a sign that the rack is broken. I hooked up the lines backwards on my original DSE subframe and drove around for 6 months wondering why the front end had zero feeling or "weight" to it. If yours acts that way on the road, I've got bad news for you.
The potentially good news is that not all racks break when hooked up backwards, and maybe yours is fine. Hope it works properly when hooked up!
