Mario,
Any luck on  1965 rear control links  .   I am chasing a driveshaft vibration. Had a new driveshaft made, helped some, but not 100%. Very reputable d/s shop has done work for me in the past, tells me he's convinced it's pinion angle. I've located a place that fabs adjustable rear control links. If yours are off car already can you send me dimensions of stock  links eye to eye and bolt diameter. .
If too much trouble, how much do you want for the set w/shipping to 28677???
Thanks
Rich

Hi Rich,

can tell you about the pinion angle, that this doesn´t have an impact because you have 2 double jonts. I rebuilt my arms with PU bushings from my company (think we wrote about this topic at Facebook). So the rearaxle looks from factory like the diff input is sagging down a bit. Have you checked the moounting surface between shaft and diff input?

Rich,
I'm sure you've already eliminated a worn transmission mount. Yes?

I have inspected the trans mount and it appears good and looks like it has been replaced at some point in time. Will replace anyway "just because" then I'll know what's in there.
Do you have one?  Price?
Still interested in buying a used set of rear control links (trailing arms) would like to rebush and then just swap out.
Thanks to all
