How to distinguish 90-91 EX knuckles from Si(s)?
Ok, so you are at the junkyard and they have alot of knuckles from EFs. Problem is they are only marked Civic. What featues i.e. measurements can I check to make sure I am getting what I am looking for?
Please, no guesses, I am only looking for positive answers here.

Is it a pick-your-part? If they have the car there, just look for the bigger MC and Brake booster, and the bigger calipers too, that's one way to tell...

Sorry, i should have been more clear. The knuckles are hanging on a rack. That is why I stated 'marked Civic'. Heck, if they were on the car I'd better know the difference

I donno, I never heard of the ex in canada...I thought it was a sedan or something.

Some people refer to knuckles as spindles.

Re: (EL Vap133)
I think the EX hubs are the same as DX/Si ones, cause when I changed my bearing I just ordered a DX/Si one. And it worked fine.

I believe that where the caliper mounts, the bolt holes are further apart on the EX than the SI. THe EX nuckles have the hole spread that accepts the GSR and newer honda caliper brackets.
