It is the connection between the rack and pinion unit and the steering mechanism/column. It is routed through the firewall and has a rubber boot where it passes from the interior to exterior of the vehicle. There are two U-joints on the shaft (one inside and one outside).
There was a TSB or technical service bulletin advising to replace the bolt that attaches the shaft to the pinion system. Even though this has been recommended there are several (read a whole lot of) mechanics and parts folks who say it is better just to replace the entire lower/intermediate shaft.
