I took a closer look at one of the CV joints, with all the parts showing lots of wear. Here's the outer housing.

And the inner flange. I suspect these show extreme wear. Time for new CVs?

I never removed the inner pivot bearing, just cleaned out as much old grease as possible.

I made my own grease injector, to fill below the lower bearing.

Then I greased up the rack, and slid that into place, maintaining the original left vs. right.

With the rack centered, I installed the pivot. This took some patient twisting of the rack and pivot to get everything aligned.
