need to gain ground clearance on festiva

[Charlie1717]

Drddan what i forgot to ask was what did you do for the strut tower bearings? are not all aspire tower bearings 3 bolt type? also are the aspire tower bearings a bushing or are they the bearing type? What years of aspire can be used are they all the same no matter what year

Aspire/festiva strut bushings are rubber. Rio strut bushings are bearing style and can be used in conjunction with festiva/aspire struts.

Aspire/festiva strut bushings are rubber. Rio strut bushings are bearing style and can be used in conjunction with festiva/aspire struts.

The top mount doesn't directly swap between rio and festy/aspire struts, but if you search you can find the fix to make them work, i believe it's just a spacer or washer that's needed. The strut rod on the Rio strut is thicker.

all factory aspire and festiva top mounts are rubber bushings. all factory aspire and festiva top mounts are a 2 bolt type. all 94-97 (american) model aspires use the same factory struts/springs respectively.
