<VV> Drivline and other questions

[Harry Yarnell]

What 'bushings'? Front? Rear? There's quite a few bushings. Swaybar (front)
bushings are a common one to go. Pitman arm bushing is another.
In the rear, the two (inner) strut bushings tend to soften, and the wheels
take a negitive camber (wheels tucked in at the top).
Play in the rear wheels rocking from top to bottom is normal, but 3" isn't.

> I got my '66 Vair some new shoes today and while the tech had it up in the
he noticed a couple of problems, 1. all my rubber bushings are either shot
some are missing, 2. He could pull the rear axle/drive line back and forth
quit a bit, 2-3 inches (would be my estimate) and 3. my shocks are shot.  So
here are my questions.

what to get and how to replace?

be if any. I'm guessing this needs to be repaired ASAP as I don't want to
loose a rear wheel.  What does this job entail and what I will need to do
the job?

last week about what shocks will work on a late model vair but I didn't pay
attention and now that I need the info damned if I can't find it.
