I'm not real familiar with the power steering gearbox, but on the manual steering box, that's where the sector shaft adjuster and locknut would be.

It looks like the top of the adjuster got sheared off, possibly by the locknut having been overtightened.

If that's what happened, that will not be easy to fix, sad to say.
