What is underneath the rubber boot in the steering shaft? It makes my car shake and veer off to the left and it makes my wheel spontaneously shake and pull to the left. What part is under the rubber boot that I need to replace?

Located above that U-Joint is a rubber garment that seems to have something located underneath. There is so much play centering around that location that it rubs the wheel well when we make a right hand turn.

Good morning,

Can you post some pictures of what you see so I can see it as well?
