Marc,
WHAT did you fill it with? The early Spridgets used the Morris Minor
steering rack which used oil, but your 1973 has a Triumph rack which should
be greased. The easy way to tell seems to be that if it has a grease
fitting, it wants to be oiled, if it does NOT have a zerk, it somehow wants
you to grease it.
