Go get one of those cheap auto stethoscopes and simply touch each component. When you hit the right one you will know it!

Probably rubber. Mine is missing as my truck is under construction The inside of that hollow bolt has about a 1" smooth nipple that protrudes into the cab (easy to slide a tube and clamp over) If it were any kind of metal tube I would think it would be threaded or flared.
