Remember, the racks are not greased =E2=80=94 they should filled with oil. =
Many people make the mistake of assuming a zerk fitting implies the use of =
grease gun, but that is not the case.

Try disconnecting the tie rod ends and re-assessing. The MG rack &
pinion is quite sturdy. While it is possible the R&P could seize, I
think it more likely one or both kingpins would seize - especially if
the rubber seals have perished and it has not been greased regularly.
