Intermediat steering shaft. This is a common problem with these cars. I pulled it out and greased it added fittings put it back in and it is fine

because you are not familiar with the location of this part i believe that you will need a repair shop to perform this repair. if you jack vehicle off ground and where the steering linkages are located next to front wheels you will see rubber/plastic bellows looking devices around axles/rods if grease is coming out of these rubbers you will need what they call boots or if these parts are damaged replacements. these parts fail rapidly when grease is lost.... also after this repair is completed do not accellerate hard with wheels turned as this damages these CV joints
