88-91 CRX HF and Civic STD knuckle/hubs are the same - 88-91 CRX DX, CRX Si, Civic DX, Civic LX and 89- 91 Civic Si are all the same (diff from HF & STD) - 90-91 Civic EX are different from all the rest

well i have no idea what kind of EF/CRX it came off of but i have a 88 SI
my bet is they came off an HF
the top part of the knuckle looks different (the bend seems different) and it wont clear my spring guess i will have to try another one...

thanks

yeah something doesnt sound right cuz they will all bolt on, even the hf/std. the difference with those is just the size of the axles.
