Went to pick up my '69 yesterday, following bodywork re-build after
crash. Front end looks perfect but garage informed me that car was
still un-driveable. They discovered that the coupling in the
driveshaft had torn loose. We opened the hood and they showed me the
problem. The rubber grommet was split and the coupling connection was
spinning freely back and forth.
Also, the steering wheel had way too much free play. It's an after-
market wheel, a "racing" wheel, smaller than standard.
This could have been the cause of the accident. Time to get to work
researching this. Anyone who has any experience with the drive-shaft,
comments would be much appreciated as always.
