No sweat...!!!

I can't say for the S197 verts because Ford did tighten them up quite
a bit, but for the SN95 cars, if you jack up the rear on one side and
look at the door jams you will see the difference.
Some people can't even open the doors with the car jacked up!

To be honest I never noticed it until I went to get tires replaced and
the tech pointed it out to me.
Mine wasn't too bad but he told me of cars where the doors couldn't be
opened with he car jacked on one side.

To be fair, just about any of the verts made do this to some degree.
It's just the nature of the beast, but it can be minimized with
SFC....

What I can say is that a quality STB and SFC will help the verts
tremendously.
It's a great first mod.
