[santi]

hi, Iīm studing mechanical engineering and need to know the load capability for each axle of the 1991 ford festiva for the university. I hope someone can tell me. Thank you

check the suspension forum and the sticker in your doorjamb

I donīt have that car and so I cannot look the sticker in the doorjamb. The teacher told me to design the suspension of the 1991 ford festiva and to look in internet for the maximum weights for each axle, but Iīve been searching for a week and found nothing. Thatīs why Iīm asking it in the forum. However Iīll look in the suspension forum. Thank you, and if you have some information, please tell me.

Didn't Kia take care of that in 1991?
Kidding.

Don't have a 91. Yet. (More on that later)

I'll give you what I do know. All my cars are manual tranny, dunno if auto tranny cars are rated differently. Anyway.

88 L
GVWR 2515 lbs.
GAWR Front 1390 lbs.
GAWR Rear 1175 lbs.

89 L
GVWR 2505 lbs.
GAWR Front 1390 lbs.
GAWR Rear 1170 lbs.

90L
GVWR 2645 lbs.
GAWR Front 1450 lbs.
GAWR Rear 1200 lbs.

Don't know if that helps, or if it's just useless information. :dontknow:

My '90 LX Automatic Transmission

GVWR 2645 LBS

GAWR FRT 1450 LBS

GAWR RR 1200 LBS

So I guess it is the same for manuals and autos for '90 atleast.

Thank very much, I hope I can do something with this. Another question, whatīs the curb weight of the 90 ford festiva? because the curb weight of the 91 ford festiva is 1797 LBS. If that matches, the GAWRs should be Ok! Thank you another time!!!!

Pretty sure that's the listed curb weight on the title to my 90.
