What exactly is that

It's a critical part that assists in turning the wheels when you turn the steering wheel.

Your engine may have stalled, if that happens you lose power brakes, power steering, and of course you'll slow down.

Is the front wheel/tire leaning? Did the engine stay running? Is your power steering pump making noises?

If it did not stall, must be related to front suspension, bushings, tie-rods, ball joints or CV Joints, It will likely need to be taken to shop to diagnose for sure.

My 1989 Buick Park Ave 3800v6 has been running fine, on the way home the other week, my car stalled while driving, It started up fine then died again, after a few more attempts it started and ran fine. Drove a few hundred more miles, and it stalled again, as I was pulling over I was trying to give it gas, when it made a large boom sound, blew the exhaust apart at the clamp and caught the ground on fire underneath my car, we moved it from the fire, Just a little char from the burned up oil underneath, Nothing electrical burned, Car is still ok, besides the exhaust needing to be put back together..
