James, respectfully, how do you know the Koni installation was done at San Jose? If either/both were dealer installed that would have little to do with the shock supports unless they replaced them with standard Mustang ones.

I also have stories from original owners where they replaced the stock shocks with Koni's with in days or weeks and now do not have the washer welded shock supports. They can not explain why nor can they be sure if their car came that way.

Would suggest that you don't have "the fact" since this is a report or an observation IMHO.


Interesting the claims that 66 cars after the left overs came with Koni's. How are owners (other than recall) supporting it?

Since the 65 cars with Koni's came with them and later with the FOMOCO and AUTOLITE I can't see where the shock has a thing to do with the subject.


And agree the steering washers are way too thick for this application.
