    I think someone already told me axels are not interchangeable which was what I was just about to ask.

    Ball joints and lower control arms are the same thing for us.

    Search the forum, we can't spoon feed you. No one learns that way.

    On the Rear , use the Complete Rear Suspention including the E Brake cable.
    There is a how to on here.
    I believe in the Suspension section.

    Knuckle/hub is the entire thing from where the strut mounts to the ball joint.

    ok thanks, I thought there was more I could use for some reason.

    The struts are the same as festiva with the exception of a higher spring perch in the rear on some shock models.
    The springs are a tad stiffer but I've never ran them before.
    If you get the rear beam make sure you unbolt it from the frame and get the brackets. Also get the e brake cable and all the rubber break hoses from the aspire.
    so I can use aspire outer tie rods? Idk what a knuckle is lol.
    ok I'll use the front struts and see if the rear struts have a higher spring perch.
    I probably wont get the springs as I plan on getting new ones.
    I am a novice in working with cars but I will try to get all of those things.
    thank you for this comment

    I happened to click on the link in your signature thing and it says something about aspire suspension on a festiva. it just so happens that my festiva has bad suspension, so could I easily swap aspire suspension into my festiva?
