Tie rods?
It could be a number of things but your Tie Rods are a likely place to start. If they are old and are binding it will adversely affect your steering.

Check the steering shaft. on the left side of the motor where the shaft comes from the firewall to the steering rack.

there are 2 u joints for the shaft that rust and seize up.


to check un hook the shaft from the rack and swing the shaft in all directions for both u joints . if the u joint are stiff remove the shaft section there is a bolt under the dash that once removed and the rack bolt is removed the shaft will slide out ... get a good spray lube with a straw and a small screw driver pull back the u joint seals a little making sure not to tear them.

spay the lube in each cap of the joint and move the shaft in all directions until it frees up and then replace and your good to go make sure you do not turn the steering wheel with out the shaft attached so it does not over rotate and screw with the air bag wire in the steering column . also make sure to put a little blue loctite on the shaft bolts so they don't come loose later
