I'm replacing all four struts w/ blues. And I will also need to replace the front endlinks while I'm at it. I see a lot of people on the forums prefer the moog endlinks for the Ford Escape because they're supposedly cheaper and 'beefier.'
Are the OEM P5 endlinks prone to failure?
So with a little research I've found that:
Mazdamotorsports offers part no. LC62-34-170 (A and B) for $38.39 each.
Rockauto offers Moog part no. K80258 for the Protege5 for $18.71 each.
Rockauto offers Moog part no. K80104 for the 2002 V6 Escape for $11.69 each.
What do people try to get out of the Escape endlinks? Is it just that they're more robust or do they change the driving characteristics in some way?
On a side note, I plan to moderately (functional, not slammed) lower the car, and change the read sway bar at some point in future (as budget allows). I autocross occasionally, but don't take it too seriously. Should I consider adjustable endlinks? What indicates a need for adjustable endlinks?
