the uni-joint would have been very noticable when you removed & replaced the rack, so i don't think you could've missed it.
the ball joint on the bottom, and the bearing in the upper mount are all there is, besides what you've worked on.
i think you've got the rack to pinion gear adjustment too tight.
there is a "pad" that holds the rack against the pinion.
on an old rack with some wear, that has to be adjusted so that the relatively UN-WORN places on either side of center to the end will move freely, and not adjusted for only the center position.
