Be sure to check the two longer coil springs that come with the kit.I believe there are good ones available, but there are many bad ones!The original springs measure 1-5/8" to 1-11/16" free length, 7/8" fully collapsed.They were rated at 60 lbs. @1-1/8".If the first two measurements are proper you don't need to worry to much about the rating.

Many of the repros I've seen are to long (and stiff) and will have the same problem you have currently.If you tighten all the way you will have a solid front mount!Some kits may come with a bronze bushing that goes against the crossmember from the bottom.If so, don't use it.Ford abandoned this very quickly in favor of a flat washer to reduce wear and vibration.
