Default How to distinguish Knuckle???

Bought a 1990 CRX Si with a B16 swap. Cable tranny. 10.3" rotors and the axle dust seal is still in place.

From what i've read in all the swap articles, the integra and civic ex knuckles both have 10.3" rotors. Correct?

Also, if they were Si or DX knuckles, that axle dust seal should've been taken out. Correct?
So i'm thinking they are neither of these. (they don't match up with my DX knuckles anyway)

So it's between the 90-91 civic ex knuckles and the integra knuckles. Correct? (or the slim chance they are JDM Sir knuckles, right?)

Any way to tell? A casting number? Height in inches?

Reason for the question is they need new ball joints and i'd like to replace the wheel bearings. Thanks in advance.

EX knuckles would have RH3-A or LH3-A.

DX/Si/HF knuckles would have RH3-H or LH3-H

PICS: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-crx-ef-civic-1988-1991-3/ex-knuckles-vs-si-pics-comparison-1241022/

not sure what SiR or Integra knuckles say.

im curious to know for the sake of archiving. but visually, SiR and integra knuckles are visually different than the others. EX and Si knuckles very similar.

SiR apparently RH3-N LH3-N

Thanks. I'll take a picture as well. Neither of those castings are on the ones I have.

My stock DX knuckles are of a solid design where the ones that came with the B16 have more of an "I" beam casting to them.

Want to help me AND the boards out? (please provide info for any Honda/Acura car you have)

Please go take a look at your knuckles. There should be a casting on each. (examples are in the above posts)

Feel free to include the rotor diameter if you'd like. Thanks!
