  • is there any difference between the aspire and festiva front control arms

    I'm having trouble with my drivers side ball joint. I have aspire knuckles with festiva control arms and I've been through 3 control arms before pulling another knuckle from the junk yard. And it still has play. When I tested it at the junk yard it was solid. When I got home and put it in same problem with looseness in the ball joint. So if I got the aspire control arm from the junk yard that seemed solid would it work in the festy? I don't know if I'm getting crap parts from orileys or what.

    It will bolt in but it will give you a little negative camber and quite a bit of tow out with the steering wheel off center. It is longer than the festiva ones.

        Festi control arms on Rio knuckles? Along with Rio outer tie rods?
