I think I've diagnosed something, but I'm not sure what

So I have the wheels jacked up off the ground and as I turn the wheel lock to lock left to right, things aren't so smooth. There are small binds and catches as if the lower steering column u-joint is in need of lube. Does this sound like the problem, or upper column u-joint, or at worst, steering rack?
There has always been slight noises when turning the steering wheel, but now there is a louder clunk.
If it is the lower u-joint, what lube do you use and how is it applied?
Much thanks.
1990 non turbo stick.
