Installing my new Currie currectlync and noticed the steering damper is not sitting square , my previous set up also had it sitting this way so I’m wondering if the bracket on the axle side is bent . I uploaded photos of the new and old set up

The first pic is pretty good of the harmonic balancer, the clamp is close and blurry, I see what you mean though.

I'm not sure I'm seeing the original had that issue? Doesn't look as crooked.

Its fine. It is just the damper bushing in a flexed position. You have a lift and now different drag link and tie rod, things aren't in the same place as they were with stock. The damper isn't a critical piece anyway.
