<p>I THINK that's a locating lug that should have a corresponding
peg on the aluminum mount between the rack and the bracket on the
frame. If so, the mount should pretty much seal up the hole.
However I'm not 100% sure about that.</p>

I have a new steering rack (original is judged not rebuildable due
to wear on the rack gear teeth). On the passenger side, on top of
the tube, there is the hole shown in the attached photo.

<div>Should there should be a plug of some sort? In the original
that hole is filled by a rubber button from the inside, perhaps
as part of a bushing of some sort. The hole will be under the
mount, I intend to use a solid rack mount so I can’t rely on the
mount bushing to seal against water.</div>

<div>I will call the vendor tomorrow, I thought I’d ask this group
also. I’d install it today if I had confidence that all is as it
should be.</div>
