Default ripped dust boot on tie rod, should it be filled with grease?

I have a ripped boot, not the cv boot, it's located more towards the front of the car but in the same area of the engine bay. It's about 6-8 inchees long and im not sure what part it is, definetly involved in the steeirng/drivetrain just not sure which part it is

If it's not the cv/axle boot it sounds like the inner tie rod boot.

Those are the only two that I can thinl of.

Bellows boot.

Buy a new one. Remove the tie rod end and replace the boot. get an alignment afterwards.
