Default honda civic DX automaticm,lower A arm / suspenion question

Hey Guys, I am noob at this...so please be nice

I have a 93 honda civic HB DX, I hit a park car on the passenger side. I had to tow it home because the driveshaft broke.......So far I changed my Lower A arm, CV shaft. Got my car to run again, but my problem is that one tire is striaght and the other side is pointing slightly right. So I tow it to a shop and got it check out. They told me the following

Bent knuckle, axle, tie rod, and lower control arm. He said the frame was fine.
He quote me $250 for the parts "used parts" and $150 labor. Total $400

So my question is this.........
Can a 93 civic HB DX automatic switch parts with a 95 civic EX 5 speed.

I know you can't use the driveshaft because is shorter for 5speed than automatic

but how about the Lower A arm?? and Knuckle ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys, hope I can get my car running soon.

Didn't you change your axles and LCA's? Why would the shop tell you that you need to change them again. Make sure you can trust that shop.

As far as I know, the LCA from the 95 ex can be used and, the knuckle can be used as long as both cars either have or don't have ABS. If one car does and the other doesn't you will need to transfer brakes too.
