" dampener for either 66 or 67 cars.  I'm thinking 67 since that was
" the first year of an open driveshaft in the big cars, and I don't
" recall the problem iwth the torque tube.  I'd like some more info
" on this.  I don't have a set of tech service bulletins (TSBs), but
" the problem and soultion could be listed as early as 65.  If
" someone has any info on this could they send it my way or post
" here?  I would be interested in a dampener if someone has one.  I
" seem to recall one mounting under the car alongside the
" driveshaft tunnel, and maybe one in the trunk?  Of course I have a
" wagon, so the trunk mounted one might not work -- depends on how
" it was mounted.

my first thought - driveshaft u-joint misalignment.  didn't the tt
have 'cv' [double] u-joints?
