Steering rack/ column Help!

About a month ago I heard a snap in the steering system when I turned the wheel of my 1992 900s. I continued to hear similiar occasionl noises from the interior and then a week later the steering became much stiffer. I am about 80% through replacing the rack but I need your help. The new rack is in but not bolted down. I cannot get the lower u-joint (in good shape) high enough to fit over the pinion shaft of the new rack. Also the steering makes noise when turned even though the u-joint is not connected to the new rack, maybe plastic noise or not!
Is the u-joint susposed to slide up the steering column shaft? Mine does not. The Bentley manual makes it appear that the telescoping part of the steering column is mid way up the column. Assuming it is susposed to slide is their anyway to get some lub or heat in the binding part. If I cannot work this out I am going to have to tow it. Thank all!
