Centering Steering Rack

I read the write up about centering the steering rack in which it said to stick a ice pick through a hole under the steering rack. I can't find such a hole???

Roger to the rescue! Thanks Roger.

Wasn't expecting that...thought this was for centering the rack on the crossmember, which made little sense given the bushing mounts.

And I thought mine was a grease nipple?

That is the "luxury" of having the Jag Parts and Service Manual CD...

download the service manual boys!

I have all 15 sections in my website.

For Series 3. 1979 1/2 to 1987. (sounds like Harry Potter's 33 1/4 doesn't it?)

I centered mine last night. The butt end of a 3/16" drill bit drops in very nicely. And yes mine is a grease nipple but I can find nothing in my service guide as to how much and how often to pump grease into it?
