   Thats a steering rack end gaitor.
   
   He will most likely mean track rod ends.

   Yes thats what you need. My end bit was hanging off so just gaffer taped it then put cable tie on to hold it. If you turn you can see the steering rack bar popping out with grease on iirc.

   No gaiter or a damaged one is need for a fail. surely that is what he means.
   
   A mechanic would not forget what a track rod end is. You'd hope. lol
