Putting a set of 5.9s onto a 99 DX Hatch. DSS specifically says to use 96-00 ABS knuckles. The salvage place I am getting them from says that the EX non-abs and EX abs are the same. Is this true? Will the non-abs EX work for me?
Thanks, Brian

 

I just check the part numbers on Majestics site for a 99 DX and 99 EXw/ABS for some reason the Right axles are different. Lefts are the same part number.

Hope that helps.

 

As long as it is a big bearing knuckle you are fine. So in the end the ex's are big bearing so you are fine.

 

Thanks bud!

There's another site that list the OEM p/n's If you ever have the need for it. Looks like Majestic's site has a error in the DX right axle p/n

 

the abs axles always going to have a diff. part number because they are different. abs tone rings. the error there would probably be the left side.

 

Looks like the southbay site has the correct info. Most of them are the same part, and the same price.

But like miller said as long as you have the correct bearing size it will work.
