Re: [Amc-list] [!! SPAM] enclosed driveline

["Garry Nordstrom" <gasnordstrom@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had that problem with my 71 AMX, I finally took the drive shaft out, took 
it to a driveline person, had it balanced, little spendy but was worth it

Subject: [!! SPAM] [Amc-list] enclosed driveline



I've got a '65 Marlin that has a bad driveline vibration at speeds above 40 
mph. I plan to replace the joints and have unbolted the tube. I'm not 
positive what the next step is. Does the diff need to swing back to allow 
removal? If so, how far back? Thanks in advance.
