  • Any difference between rear aspire spindles and festiva?

    Just curious because I don't want to have to go to the yard tomorrow and take time off work...

    Nevermind, found my answer in an old thread. Yes they are, but you can drill out the holes a bit to make them fit. I'll just go get a festy one.

      you might want to consider these differences. the aspire one might be a little longer. this might account for the increased track someone mentioned awhile back. i think you need the aspire dust caps also because of this.

        The Aspire stub bolt pattern is different as well. I have an Aspire rear beam with Aspire stubs on it, but with that dinggleberry cut off because it has Festy backing plates (hole slotted to fit) and Festy drums. Had to use the Aspire cap for it to fit.
