Hey folks! I'm the new owner of Zeke's red 89 festiva. It has an aspire hub swap with some major positive camber in the front. The struts are already set in the negative position and has festiva LCA's. I was reading the forums and noticed that people suggested using festiva LCA's and aspire LCA's. With the festiva LCA's being shorter, shouldn't the aspire LCA's be used to correct camber? Thanks.

Not with Aspire knuckles. If you use Aspire LCAs, the axles won't stay seated and can fall out of the transmission.Jerry

...I had negative camber problems with aspire lcas. Try turning you strut top around, one adds more camber while the other takes away. Also when tightening down the strut tops push them towards the inside
Camber bolts work but sometimes come loose.

I had camber issues when I did the Festy/Aspire swap, as well the Festy axles pulled loose, when I used Aspire LCAs. Also had to spin out the tie rods about 3/8 inch each side for correct toe-in.
Going back to Festy LCAs (but you'll still have to use Aspire tie rods) solved all those problems.
