haven't done it or seen it myself but i'm pretty sure it'll work. camber might be off as a result. question, why are you doing this?

I can tell you that eg front hubs don't work on ef's because of different geometry so I would assume that the ek suspension geometry is a little different too. Unless you compare side by side you won't really know.

Well in actuality I never mounted it up on my car but putting them side by side the upper control arm mount for the ball joint was at a different angle and position, the knuckle I can't remember exactly what was different to be honest.

It was enough for me to just buy the new control arms and ball joints for my crx knuckle and replace them rather than swapping hubs. So, try it at your own discretion.

well heres the deal... i have my 91 Si and the wheel bearing and ball joints are gone... i also have a 99 dx hatch sittin around that i recently totaled... i already took the trailing arms off of the ek and put them on the Si because of the better conditon the bushings where in and the bigger drum brakes... anyways insted of paying o get 2 new wheel bearings pressed in and all new ball joints... i was going to see if i could just swap those off of the ek as well... but from what I read... looks like the angles and such are going to be off... guess im better off picking up the sir front hubs i was offered...

i know ppl who have used 00 si front knuckles. They work but are not the "correct" or perfect geometry for the car. 88-91 ex knuckes are the best bet for our cars but are really rare to find.

I dont know about all this angle crap. Last night I installed GS-R front spindles on my 88 crx si. Used stock control arms and everything fit fine. Drives no problem. I changed my outer tie rod ends so I need alignment but its fine.

So to answer your question, just swap them in. Worst case scenario get alignment..
