Originally posted by nitrofarm View PostI have a hard time processing info,spread sheets help me.So I made this,hope maybe it can help someone else. I made a couple observations:
Using a 02 Rio knuckle on a Festy,appears to require lengthening the Tie Rod @ 1" total.Using a Rio knuckle on a Aspire is almost identical as far as width goes.
Rio's track width compared to Aspire's are 1/16" wider.But use axles that are 1/8" shorter.So are they changing track width via rim backspace? How is track width measured? From outside edge of rim,or center line of rim?
F series tranny in Aspire, you can use na Capri axles with only 1/16" difference in axle overall axle width.
Anyone know the track width for the na Capri?Ford Festiva 1991 WA Model (5 Door)
Nicknamed the car 'The Chiva' (Chilli Festiva)

I haven't been able to do the machine work to the xr2 axel yet. A hole needs drilled 3/4" from the current hole since the BP is longer. The Rio axels are in this transmission and in the hubs right now..like I said I removed the springs and turned the axel and it didn't bind but I haven't driven the car yet, so its still a 'do it at your own risk' thing like everything else. After seeing what happens when the wrong length axel is used firsthand I don't want to be responsible for someone wrecking their car.
I can also tell you that a Festiva auto, aspire auto, and aspire manual axel is the same length from the outside hub end to the tripot bearing. The inner CV cup is almost an inch longer for festivas, and the spline counts are different mtx/atx.Last edited by zoom zoom; 01-22-2013, 02:12 PM.2008 Kia Rio- new beater
