  • where to get aspire lower control arm

    Does any one know of a good place(cheap) for a new lower control arm?
    (Bad lower ball joints)

    Does other models fit (escort) ?

    Thanks for all of your help!

    Do NOT use Aspire control arm/ball joint assemblies for your Festy-to-Aspire suspension/brake swap!

    Not unless you want to use a buncha other Aspire parts, sweat and curse and experiment and so forth until you (maybe) get it right. IIRC, one other forum member did it once and he said it wasn't worth it.

    Stick with Festiva control arms. Aspire arms are a bit longer and won't work with your other parts.

    I think you can still order them from A Zone or other places new (aftermarket). I did about a year ago.

        I'm not sure but I think Escorts have totally different control arms designs.

        You got an Aspire, okay.
