Grease anything with a Zerk fitting on it!! As far as INSIDE the rack, that's lubricated by the fluid.

Manual or power? If power, the rack can be greased, and if not using fluid anymore you can pull the servo valve out, remove all inner seals, and pack the whole thing with grease, including the 3 bearings. Gives a very unique "road terrain" feel to the steering...
