Well yeah, that is unless you have a 50's or 60's Citroën which could (and often did) get around on only 3 wheels!

I've seen one 3 wheeled Festiva, and it ain't in my driveway.

Nothing like getting passed by your back tire. :shock:

[sam.1956]

At least his didn't snap off the way mine did. Kinda hard to drive on three wheels.:p

[batstiva]

Dean still has it, last I looked.

I like the idea that we rattle-can paint it gold & bolt it to a piece of wood for a trophy to be passed from meet to meet!
"You win The Twisted Golden Spindle Award" for.... something or other! HA!

I hope someone saved that old spindle, that'd be a good pic of fatal bearing/spindle failure.

Uh, not for about 20 yrs. I kind of thought they went by the wayside and reverted back to Trucker only use when the "Smokey and the Bandit" craze died. :dontknow:

[batstiva]

No idea who you would be talking about there.

This all happened long after you guys pulled out. The local McParts place sent us the wrong crush nut, then the wrong bearings, and by the time we got everything apart and figured all this out, it was too late to get the right ones. But he got home, that's all that counts.

P.S. I hope someone saved that old spindle, that'd be a good pic of fatal bearing/spindle failure.

[eurotiva]

Euro always has spares, never can be too safe on a 1400 mile trip with 6 other festivas and some owners that know nothing about maint.
