Re: Vibration dampeners for 66-67 cars?

[farna@xxxxxxx]

I thought about that too. Only the 63-66 V-8 models used a CV type joint. All others (including 56-62 V-8s) used a single joint at the front. I thought driveshaft angle too, but nothing I do to that helps. I have the same angle at the front and back, or at least within 1 degree of each other. It's backwards, with the trans end a little lower than the axle end, but that shouldn't matter as long as both angles are pretty much the same. Vibrations were a problem in some of the cars, that's why AMC engineers developed the body mounted dampeners. I've seen the TSB, just don't know if I have a copy I can get to in a few days. The TSB stated the dampeners were only to be installed if customers complained and didn't accept "that's normal" from the dealer technicians. Well, something to that effect anyway. Matt, do you-- or anyone else -- have the 66-67 TSBs?
