>>>It's worth mentioning that you car is a pushbutton, which came from the
factory with a rather weak chassis. Ford recalled all the early cars to
weld in gussets and braces all over the place (including yours, unless it was
originally a Euro market car, which was allowed to fall apart!) to reinforce
the suspension mounts etc. The 1972 and later cars had a completely
revised chassis which addressed the weakness issues.
