Rear axel / spindle striped out had to chase threads with a die M16 / 1.5..next on the list To get a front end alingment. Wish I had a 5 speed trans....OOOOooo !
mrghost, I saw you needed an axle stub. A member has one for sale here. I almost bought it on general principles. The ones that know they are hard to find. I have a couple spares already though.

Spent last night swapping my wife's aluminum wheels and worn tires for steel wheels and new 12's so Goodyear can do an alignment on it.
Anyone ever get the rear aligned?
I have been told that it does not need alignment unless there is physical damage. I have ALSO been told at a couple shops that they don't list what the specs are to even TELL there is damage.
I wouldn't go by just that, but it is a place to start...

Yup. Left rear was IIRC, 1/4" toed in. Took it home and took everything apart. Anti-siezed all fasteners and took it back to the shop. Saved the labor they would have charged to take it apart had there been any issues.
They still have to loosen the spindle to install the shim but it came apart a lot easier=less time=less labor charge.
I also reccomend Kicker DS40 for a quality budget 4" speaker. I thought they were blown for awhile, but I found it was stuff in the dash and trim in the back rattling! they do have a bit of a bass kick to them which is nice but I'm still looking to throw in a small sub because of the road noise and longevity of the speakers.

I may have to do that, they didn't have the shim and had to order it, left rear too.
I'll bring it back next Saturday to fix it.

Do those speakers sound better than the stock ones?
Do the speaker grilles fit with the new speakers installed?
I never had stock speakers in my Festy so I'm not sure, but they do sound good for little 4 inchers. They were the best ones the store I bought them from head to offer. Cost me like 73 bucks for the pair and that was at dealer cost.
And yes, after installing them from the inside of the whole I was able to get the grills on no problem.
Here check out my garage thread where I usually put up more detailed pics.
I sold a festiva today, along with tons of festiva and aspire parts. glad to have the room and one less project going and glad to see someone happy to continue finishing a car. Can't wait to see it finished
