On my '72 there is not a single grounding strap to the rack, but an eye terminal connected to a bunch of about 4 black ground wires, that come out of a larger harness. To lube the rack, you have to take out the bolt that the terminal is attached to. Possibly some PO did a rack lube and never bothered to re-install the ground terminal, and it is dangling around somewhere nearby.
