Is this normal?

[Eriol]

That's the lower IC pipe in direct contact with the thing below it.

 

[IJ.]

Not normal.

Not normal.

Is it very far off normal, or just a little?

The front end has been smacked a couple of times (by previous owners), and I think things are a little out of whack.

Can the damper bracket on the rack be rotated?
(86.5 here no damper so I'm not sure)

 

[Eriol]

I don't think so... it looks like it's an integral part of the rack.

 

[IJ.]

Can you bend the bracket that holds the IC pipe in place?

 

[Poodles]

That's the aluminum elbow, it should be bolted into place. If it's not, get it bolted back in.

Not on that axis, I'd have to drill a hole in the bracket.

I was thinking about having Jon (MDC) fab up some hardpipes for me, though, so I guess now he'll have to have the car while he's doing it.

Yep, it's bolted. I'm guessing my rack is too far up, or the elbow and bracket have been pushed rearward somehow.
