I removed the rack from my car about a year and a half ago and I'm pretty sure there was oil in the gearbox.
But that leads me to wonder about something. If the rebuilder used oil, it seems like it would surely find it's way to one or the other end of the rack during shipping and settle down in the low spots of the bellows. There isn't that much to begin with. Less than half a pint if I recall. But I guess during turning, between compressing the bellows and centrifugal force most of it should return to the box. Is that how it works?
