Default brake swap problem!

I swapped on integra knuckles onto my 94 EH2. As i understand it, they're supposed to be a direct bolt on with no problems. In my case, there's problems.

- My tires are facing each other to the point to where my alignment shop declined to align it. They said it was impossible to align it with that much of a toe problem.

- It seems as though where the tie rod connects to the knuckle (on these teg hubs) it positions the knuckle itself too far out....thus making my tires look like this // \\ (from a birds eye view, not from behind it.)

- I'm wondering if maybe these are DA integra knuckles, would they be any different from 94-00 knuckles? If so, i'm thinking i have DA knuckles on right now and that's why the tie rod doesn't position the hub where it's supposed to.

I've searched, i know somebody has to have come across this problem! So if these are DA knuckles, DC knuckles should fix my problem right? TIA!
