  • Drives like a new car ,new parts

    I got the new lower control arm/ ball joint's replaced , new swaybar to arm bushings , and new drive axle .
    WOW what a difference in the drivability , no more front end dive feeling when going into a curve ,no more rattle/loose feeling over bumps , no pop when turning , and the metal to metal clank from the front end jacking up and down on hard acceleration between gears -"ball joints"
    and the sway bar bushings are urathane ..SWEET

    Makes a nice difference. I've done a few after driving them around with sloppy stuff. Night and day difference.

              Hey Packrat, I know what you mean. I did all that to my car at 175,000 miles, plus new struts, bearing, and tires. It is a huge difference. Id encourage anyone unhappy with their festiva to invest some $, they will drive like new. And you will like it :!: The difference is night and day. Its that old loving feeling :lol:
