Just got the previously-posted axle links installed. They completely eliminated all the clunking and wandering the old arms had.

1986 Toyota Cressida wagon with Camaro shocks and a MK1 Celica-Supra axle. Not pictured are MK2 Celica-Supra wheels, seats, and differential, MK3 Supra transmission, AE86 rear brakes, and Volvo radiator fan.
It's a bit of an amalgamation of cars haha.

its funny, because I recognized it as a Toyota axle and exhaust, but couldn't place the chassis.
BaconSandwich is tasty.

Just out of curiosity, how did you know that that set of parts would actually work together? Reading on forums and whatnot?

Essentially. The volvo fan and camaro shocks are kinda junkyard digger general knowledge. Camaro and Foxbody Mustang shocks fit almost any 3 or 5 link solid axle. Volvo fans use awesome powerful motors and have an attached relay box that makes installation easier.

Do have any experience with maintenance on the joints? I know they're supposed to be semi-regularly greased and stuff, but are there any problems with dirt intrusion and stuff of that nature while street driving?

They are teflon-lined, and yeah eventually the joints will wear. Most people say to just hit them with some motorcycle chain lube whenever you remember. Otherwise they should last a pretty long time. I've had heim joint camber plates, sway bar links, and rear toe arms on my MR2 for a while with no issues.
