you're supposed to use festiva LCA's with the aspire swap. Did you use festiva or aspire struts/springs? If you used aspire that would raise the front and probably make it handle worse than before. Put the aspire front swaybar on too! You'll love it!

no i keep the festiva struts and spring. i feel like i have lest trac. all it wants to do is spin like it driving on the out side of the tire

You probly got your camber off when you remounted your hubs

they make camber bolts if you can't get it with in specs with out them

check too see if you have a steep angle at where the hub mounts to the strut

I heard, don't know if it is true but I did hear it from the only alignment guy I trust, that if your camber is off, removing the top 2 nuts and spinning the strut around, can help in the camber department. Actually you would be turning the "bearing", the rubber top of the strut 180 degrees. Would be an easy thing to do and might help.

This is true, my camber was off after doing the swap, and after doing this it fixed it.

ok tryed to take the rear axle out of the festiva but it has been fighting me the whole way so it is still up in the air waiting to get done.
oooh ya found out why the festiva was handleing so bad.
i thought the aspire tie rods ends got swap when i put it back together but it was still the festivas ones. i will order some aspire one on monday.
anyway my white festiva will not b ready for race day tomorrow so i ame going to fix my green and take it to the races.

[mikeycar500]
