I'm having trouble visualizing how that would affect the engine.

The main thing that linkage does is prevent the rear axle as a whole unit from turning in response to braking and accellerating. I think 444's didn't even have the linkage, they were just more securely attached to the diagonal arms which are the main fore/aft locators of the rear axle.

As the axle goes up and down the length of the rear section of the driveshaft does change, but that should be accomodated by the splines in the back section.

Are the bushings in the diagonal arms OK? Is the driveshaft perhaps slightly too long and the splined section alreay fully 'short'?
