The sliding or spacer block is the connection between the rack gear and the inner tie rods.

Bushings should be snug against it, inner tie rods connected one at a time (never disconnect both at once its not fun!), make sure it is torqued correctly!

Not sure why it would be called the sliding block, the FSM calls it a "spacer block". Technically I suppose it does "slide" with the rack gear as you turn the steering wheel back and forth.

Thanks Bill, I was looking for an exploded view of the rack, couldn't find it!
