Default 90 hatch STD b18a swap knuckle question **already searched**

I have been reading tons of different threads from search for an hour and still can't get the right part. I know the STD knuckle will not work with 90-93 integra axle so I need to change the knuckle to what? I bought brand new rotors/pads so I don't really want to change it to 90-93 integra brake system.

My question is can I use the 88-91 honda Si/DX/EX knuckle and retain the rotor and pads? Another question would be the camber issue would it be affected?

Thanks guy for the help!

use 88-91 civic/crx dx/lx/si or ex knuckles,,and then remove the dust shield from inside them..

the std brakes will work on the dx/si/lx knuckles,,,,,,not sure about the ex knuckles though, never tried that..

90-91 integra and 92-93 are two different axels

I can't remember for sure but I believe with that swap(mine is an 89 with an LS) you need 90-91

I went to the junkyard and got myself 91 civic SI knuckle. I brought my 92 teg axle with me in case it doesn't fit in which it did fit in good. So I brought it home and start installing them then put the std brake system, it bolts on perfect no bind, no touching. I'm happy man!

Mr.speaker---- big thanks to you! That's what honda-tech is all about helping hand!
Merry Christmas you guys!

Late to the party but here is the 411: HF/Std knuckles have different wheel hubs (axle splines are different because the axles are different) . You can keep the knuckles/brakes you have -- if you're willing to press out the hubs and press the correct hubs in.

So don't toss the knuckles, they are still good spares. Just ditch the hubs.

If you swap to LS integra knuckles you will need to use their brake system and you will have some issue with camber being postive nothing like camber kit will take care of that. Integra rotor is bigger so that's the reason for using integra brake equipments. As for tie rods you don't need to change them they will fit on any knuckles

Oh yeah I am going to save that knuckle for sure! who knows I might need them in the future. I could have knocked out that hub and replace the correct one but it's PITA!
