That would be the inner portion of the tie rod. I just replaced mine a few days ago. There was very little, if any grease (whiteish color) on the rack or within the boot. I have no leaks and the boots are perfect so I can only assume they just needed a very light greasing. The hard part was putting the boots back on the rack. I used metal hose clamps but I think you'll find the passenger side very hard to access.
