    They are, that's why you don't want to use them.

      They are different lengths so they would screw up the suspention geometry on a festy

        I keep an Aspire CA around just to have it to compare with.

        On ebay, some of the CAs are sold with more hardware. Look around and compare prices.

          Easy to tell apart. The Festiva can be used on either side so if you look at it from above it will be straight. The Aspire is right or left handed and there is a bend to it.

              they are which is why you keep the festiva ones for the swap. the hubs are the same basically, if you use aspire control arms it will put your bottom part of the hub out farther than the top, messing up your camber like crazy
