Stearing trouble

Hi guys
I have been having a bit of trouble turning my stearing when i am turing left or right.
Toyota tokd me it is a small rod that makes the stearing turn right and left.
Small part,but close to 385 plus taxes and plus two hours if wirk..
So close to 600 dollars later.
He sprayed lubricant on that part,and he was right ,now it works find,but will become stiff soon.
Tacoma have that small problem witht that part that does nt last long.
Anyone else experienced that?
Regards

Steering shaft u joint. Bad design, gets hit with a lot of road spray and sand. Pretty common. Replace yours as soon as possible its kind of important.
