What you stated shows Ford did engineer it correctly, but the consequences of failure was not identified. Mistakes happen and bean counter do get their way. Usually there is a trade off, they give you a fixed gross vehicle cost and you don’t get all you want. But clunking would have been fixed. I am not saying Denver or whomever is inferior, I am sure better in many ways. It just not engineered to be 100% compatible and sometimes requires additional parts to work.  I have been through many maintenance and design schools and training. Probably the best was mcs2 which is what keep airplanes flying. Ever wonder that possibility Ford tried springs like Devers and ran into the same issue and their fix was the design they have?</blockquote>
