Aspire conversion

[FestYboy]

don't need the aspire balljoints (they're integrated into the LCA), and you use either sway bar as it doesn't affect fitment.

[hofficergrover]

the sticky dont sway anything about the sway bar and the ball joints do i need these like i have them what do i need to use??

[hofficergrover]

i would have but did pay attention to it haha but he was nice enough to tell me anyways

[FestYboy]

someone needs to read the sticky at the top of this section... all info is there including a list of needed parts.

You need the calipers. The struts won't do anything except raise the rear of your car (good for tall tires). Don't use the axles, use Festy ones

ok iv got a aspire swap um i want to make sure i have every thing what all is needed i have the front hubs and calipers do i need them? both axles tie rods front sway bar link the hole rear axle. could i use the struts in from the back of the aspire? would it improve the ride?

[hofficergrover]

ok thanks damkid

[Damkid]

It'll only raise your festiva about an inch, so i wouldn't think that would be an advantage

[hofficergrover]

ok would it be better to use the aspire or it dont really do any thing

[Damkid]

when you do the swap do you need to use the aspire struts and springs for the front and the back? the festiva has just shocks in the back right do the aspires? iv never looked at one haha dont like them

use the festiva suspension front and rear, they bolt right up

Festiva LCA's with Escort tie rod ends


Thanks for the help Will. Gonna try to get it fixed now!

Probably when you put the tie rods on that messed up the alignment, just a guess though

^did you use aspire or festiva LCA's? also did you use aspire or festiva tie rod ends?

Give a call Cody I need to ask some questions before I try to diagnose your alignment woes.
