Yep, normally the steering rack gaiter comes without grease...
It's a rubber concertina about six inches long with a small hole (around 3/8") one end and a bigger hole of about an inch and a quarter the other...
When you refit it, smear a bit of ordinary moly grease (e.g. Castrol MS2) around to act as a fitting lubricant and to replace any lost lubricant from the rack itself.
