Steering Rack

[civ104]

My steering rack seems to have tightened up. I haven't come in contact with anything, but the steering has gotten very heavy. I recall the thread about the missing clamp, and will check that this evening. Is there anything else I can try without disassembling the front end?

Has the rack ever been greased? Another often overlooked piece is the top bearing on the strut.... they fill with water and garbage and can cause heavier than normal steering....
