Bob,
  Several years back, there was a mention in TSO of that ball in the
steering rack nipple getting into the rack and causing the rack to jam.
  There is (or was) a ball and spring assembly in that nipple when it was
new.
  So now that I've ruined your day, bringing you fear of instant rack
lock-up, what will you be doing this weekend?  Sorry.....but thought you
should know about it.
Bob
