All of them can suffer fatigue & cracks around the jack points, spring plate mounting area, sway bar mounts, and to a lesser extent, around the shock tower areas and front suspension pickup points. Cabs and targas also get weak in the door sill area, particularly on the lower-vertical part of the "L" of the forward door frame.

I found this post above and the question by randywebb (Rwebb) which preceded it to be very useful.

It may answer my recent question about fat passengers compromising the car's handling............................or not.

Big and Fat Passengers a Problem

Great thread either way.
