1. what the hell is that line lmao i think its power steering and
2. is that normal and if not where should it be

my issue is my passenger front end lifts up when turning wheel all the way to the left and its hard to turn my wheel all the way to the left when im not moving and there is a small dead spot in my steering wheel and has trouble moving straight. turning right is normal i think its rack and pinion. also i get my parts free so if you have any suggestions like sway bar or something lmk ill pull them off junk cars.

The rack and pinion is moving up and down, it should be bolted to the cross member.

That car is dangerous to drive and somebody is going to die if you keep driving it.
