Default steering knuckle

I replaced the passenger side steering knuckle on my 98 ls integra (2 door) after I bent the hub. The steering knuckle I used to replace the original one was off a 4 door 94 rs integra, so I had to drill and tap new abs spots. I did that a few months ago. well anyways today I noticed that the wheel sticks out more from the car on the replaced knuckle than any other ones. I realized that it has been like that for a while now, I just havent really noticed until today. So i am wondering if i need to replace the knuckle again with one from a 98 or newer integra with abs. Anyone know if this will fix the problem?

Part#'s are different, besides the abs holes being different the knuckle itself may be a little different being a 4 door. If the size and dimensions are the same between knuckles then something may be bent. Was the car ever wrecked in the front?

My car was wreck in the front before. The 4dr I got the knuckle from was wrecked in the rear, however I got it from a junkyard and the wheel assembly was still attacted putting it at an awkward angle. So that could have cause it to bend. does anyone know if the dimensions are different between a 98 2 dr and a 94 4dr?

what do you mean by the wheel assembly being attatched? The wheel being attatched wont damage the knuckle, was the wheel damaged?

Well someone had taken the control arm I think so the knuckle was at a funny angle especially with the added weight of the wheel hanging off it. (the integra was on blocks so the wheel was hanging)
