  • Aspire brake swap/control arm Q

    Something doesnt look right. Im putting my aspire front hubs on today and was wondering are you suppose to use festiva or aspire control arms/ball joint ??? My new festiva control arms dont seem long enough.

    When i did my aspire swap I used the festiva stock stuff and have to get aspire tie rod ends. Everything else was the festiva running gear

      Are aspire and festiva control arms the same ? My ball joint seems at a weird angle, guess its cause the car is in the air with no weight on the tires.

          aspires are used when doing the Capri swap, use the Festy lowers for the aspire swap (sounds counter intuitive doesn't it?)
          Trees aren't kind to me...

          currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),

            Thanks guys !! I think it just looks strange because it on jack stands with no weight on it. Looks severely toed in.
