To remove the starter on a 1976 Mercedes when the suspension is obstructing access, first ensure the vehicle is securely raised and supported. You may need to disconnect components of the suspension, such as the lower control arm or sway bar, to create enough clearance. If necessary, also remove any protective covers or heat shields. Once you have enough space, you can access the starter bolts to remove the starter itself.

The starter on all early model fords are on the passenger side, once you have that side jacked up with a jack stand disconect the wires that go to the starter. Once the wires are disconnected, use a 5/8 socket or wrench to loosen the 2 bolts that hold the starter in place. Just about all remanufactured starters will need the use of shims, if your old starter has them, reuse them for a ball park thickness. If not, use the middle thickness and go from there. The V8 starters can be a problem to remove. The steering rack and crossmember interfere. You may need to remove the passenger side motor mount and jack the engine up to get the starter out.
You didn't mention what size engine you have but, if you follow the positive battery cable from the battery it will lead you to the starter relay, then to the starter.
There's probably no problem with the starter. The solenoid sounds like the problem. It is the little round thing with the wires hooked to it forward of the starter on your model. Don't forget to disconnect the battery before removing it and remember which posts the wires are on.
It has macpherson struts in the front and torsion springs at the rear.
