Sales of the Mark III got off to a slow start because of production difficulties that ended in a ten week strike at Ford's plant between April and June 1971, which was reported to have cost production of 100,000 vehicles, almost a quarter of a year's output. Spring rates, damper settings and front suspension bushings were altered during 1971 to cut the bounciness and low speed harshness that the press had criticized.
