[Shotimes] Front suspension re-request--diagram for front tension strut bushing 'liner' weld points needed

Ford TSB for it. You have to tack weld the bushing
receiver to the subframe. I can try and get a PDF of
the tsb over lunch time if anyone wants.
Edit:
This is wasnt what I was talking about, but its
another solution:
