I've been installing the Escape Endlinks on my 2002 P5 (these ones are labelled As Nascar Advantage by Canadian Tire but are actually Moogs), and I've run into a snag. The passenger-side endlinks installed fine, but on the driver side the Zerk fitting bumps into the strut base so that the stud can't mount properly:

I assume that I'll either have to buy a lower-profile Zerk fitting or plug the hole. Man, there's always something!
just take off the fitting. and youre golden.
I didn't want to do that because it looked like that would allow contaminants into the top endlink. In the end, I put a lower-profile vertical Zerk fitting onto it, and it just grazes the lower spring support. I figure it's not too big a deal since that whole section in the picture moves as one piece, but the force from the spring may cause the support to deflect a little during driving. The Zerk fitting is brass (I think), so it'll wear first. I'll keep an eye on it, and if it shows any signs of wear, I'll replace the entire fitting with a 1/4"-28 NPT plug.
