On my Duster's 8.75 rear axle housing I noticed this tube that sticks out of it on the top side of the axle tube (housing). It also holds on a brass block that the brake lines go in and out of. Anyway, I noticed that it was broken off. I did get the threads loose so I can easily get the remaining piece out. Is this some sort of vent tube (what is it's proper name?) and, more importantly, where can I find a new one? I really would like to put in a correct piece. Any help would be appreciated. BTW, My local salvage yard would not be of much help as they are picked pretty clean and if there was one, it is burried deep in overgrowth of bushes so they would be of little use for this part.

vent tube

yes,thats the vent tube with dust cap and it bolts the brake line Tee to the housing.
