Yes, check the inner tie rod ends. There is a very short heavy spring behind the race that the ball rides on. There is a tightening spec that keeps the inner tie rod in compression so it will not permit the wheels to dart around when they hit irregularities in the road. The later MGB racks also had an adjusting screw and jamb nut art the pinion to adjust the tension imposed by the rack onto the pinion. This was used in lieu instead of shims.
