Could be several things. Hard to steer makes me think of failed Power Steering or flat tires, while rattling suspension is more likely due a failed joint in the steering linkage or a worn out bushing in the suspension. One really has to get in underneath the car and have a look.

If your 85 LeSabre is really hard to steer what should you do to fix it?
It depends on how you define hard to steer. If you mean it requires excessive effort, I would look for a seized, broken or otherwise malfunctioning power steering pump. In the 85, it is just underneath the alternator. If by hard to steer you mean hard to keep control, you almost definitely have a suspension problem. Either way, unless you know exactly what you are doing, a professional should do these kinds of repairs

Will any damage be caused to a vehicle if the air suspension is not repaired?
Yes. It's hard on the mounts and springs, and, if it causes your vehicle to sit at an abnormal angle, your drivetrain, as well. Which is why on semi trucks (which mostly use air ride suspensions anymore), getting an air suspension fault corrected is such a high priority.
