aspire swap/tie rod ends?

[joeboomer999]

hi just bought a complete aspire to do a brake swap. Ive read all the threads about it on here which all say to use the aspires tie rod ends but the gentleman I purchased the aspire from was quite a knowledgeable festy owner who has done multiple swaps himself said to use the festys tie rod ends or things would go bad.
which should be done? thanks

Aspire ties with aspire hubs.
You use the outer aspire tierods only.
Maybe that's the confusion.
You still need your inner tierods for the festiva.
Hope that helps

Yep, Aspire tie rod ends. (outers) Festy type won't work.

You could also use escort gt outers but need festiva inners

Yep.
Reason being that the hole for the tie rod bolt on the aspire hub is slightly bigger.
If you use the Festiva one, it will rattle uncontrollably
