How about a bump to the top since I can't recall its name.

Is this the part you are talking about? I talked to three mechanics today and they all gave me different answers. One said coupling, one said universal joint and one said steering dampner.... I found something like it in a book and they called it a splined coupler. I guess all of this makes it about as clear as mud..... Maybe someone else will chime in also.

One of the guys I talked to said there was a re-build kit available for them.
