A lower steering shaft universal joint lets the steering shaft change angle while it carries steering-wheel rotation down toward the steering gear. Signs this part may need replacing include a clunk or knock felt through the wheel, steering that binds or feels notchy, and excess play. Other steering faults can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the steering system before you replace the joint. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque, and for whether the original hardware may be reused.
