The reason is that the wear is concentrated in the middle of the rack.

The following suggestions work on the TD and MGA, so I would assume it
would work on the MGB.

The rack usually does wear more than the pinion.  But you can rotate the
pinion 180, to put fresh teeth in the straight ahead position.  The
process does involve removing the rack and disassembling it.  Another
point of wear is the upper part of the housing where the rack's 'teeth'
have ground out the ends.  I read where someone bored these ends and
fitted bushes.
