I intend to run these on the front, which will require some spacing. But a 'quick' fit up shows they will hit the upper zerks

Now these zerks / upper balls are NOT Moog, I don't know what brand they are. The zerks seem to be pressed? riveted? into a washer like fitting that SPINS in the top of the ball. These are a 90* zerk, and you can turn them, but they still hit the 'Stang Bullitt wheels.

Anybody dealt with this

Any pics of the upper ball joint? I've got the 05+ wheels on my 73 Duster with spacers and mine are super close, but don't hit. I'm running 1.5" bolt on spacers. My upper ball joints are flat on the top.

Can you just put the fitting in when you need to grease, and plug them?

TB the problem is I can't get them out. They enter a "washer" looking part on the top of the ball and simply spin 'round' when you turn them. Kinda appears the zerk assembly was crimped? into the thing.

I'm not sure what brand these are, I may have one of the boxes IF the boxes match the parts.
