- In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
If that's what it is, you don't want to leave it missing. That will allow dirt and water to get in and destroy parts.
Either i cap the one side , or get a new rack and pinion. the one side boot is a tight fit, the other side has that plastic gizmo holding the tube .
second hand problems are a nightmare.

Capping one side will likely last right up until you steer, then blow off.
I’ve used 1/4” brake line to make a new piece to connect the two boot vents.
lol, i would , but the one side doesn’t even have the boot vent .
guess imma run it into the ground and get a new one when it fails

is the boot rotated to where the vent is hidden? long shot, but at least cheap
the boots can be replaced without taking the rack out.
undo the tie rod, count & mark it, twist it off. slide boot off.
