The power steering pump fail on these. It fairly common if you look it up. Toyota or 2nd hand are the only options I believe.

Just replace it - you can't adequately lubricate the joint, and they are not difficult or expensive to do.

I've used this sort of stuff to rejuvenate steering joints.

After you replace the UJ, see if you can add a gaiter to protect the new one. Generic steering rack end gaiters would be good for that if you can fit one.
