HLA? Head light assemblies?
Yesterday, I got it inspected. It failed for the parking brake hanging up and an exhaust leak. Hope to fix both problems today.

Re: What have you done to your Festiva today!?
Installed new HLA's ( $7.00 each at Rockauto). Finished rebuilding a pair of front hubs and got the passenger side switched out. Ordered some longer studs for the front. When those arrive I'll get a couple of photos with them installed along with the 10mm hubcentric spacers I got earlier. I have my new summer tires mounted and balanced but still a bit early to put them on. Need the new studs anyway

Huli, how did you manage to get the spokes going in opposite directions on the front wheel and rhe rear wheel? If it is like that on the other side too, you may want to consider a wheel switcheroo.

Moved the volt gauge, and tach off the top of the dashboard.
Only light on the cluster I can't see because of the tach is the rear defrost light, which isn't very important.
Also picked up some rubber insulation strips, and put some under the hood. (sometimes it rattles)
I also used the stuff on the rear speaker plastics on the mounting points, where the plastic touches the body of the car, and between the speakers and the plastics themselves. No more damned rattling when I got my music cranked up. Yay!Last edited by TorqueEffect; 03-13-2013, 05:27 PM.

arrows to my post, lol.
I replaced inner and outer tie rod ends and LCA's last april and may respectively. Im leaning towards a rack on its way out (it has no rubber boots, and the big boor where the column goes into the rack is also cracked) or bad bushings. The best way I can describe the feeling of the steering is when your going into a turn, it seems like your not turning it enough to make the turn, but in reality, you are. The frost heaves are getting horrible around here this time of year, so the way i drive, i most likely broke something, lol.

^^^^Changed the tie rod ends. It loosened my steering up. So it isn't as hard to turn.

Finally did a tune up and cleaned the IAC out. It idles alot better now, but i still gotta get the intake tube replaced. Thats gonna have to wait till payday. And I still havent found the source of squishyness in my steering at speed. No play in anything, shocks are good and nothing has changed on the car. The steering hasnt gotten worse, but it hasnt gotten better. Still loving the festiva though!

Aspire brake hoses since the Festy ones don't fit apparently.
And I used car-part.com to locate a yard close to me with the assembly. Called them up to verify it was what I needed and got it ordered lol.
