Default DC complete front spindle on a crx?

i bought some dss 5.9's off a guy and swapped out the entire front hubs, brakes, and spindle.

i just heard that i can not use these on a crx due to alignment issues.

is this true?

i have ingall's adjustable upper ball joints, and a traction bar on the car...

camber and caster mis alignment

you CAN get those hubs fitted to a machined civic EX or SI arm

here is info on an ITR 5 lug. the wheelbearing/hub information works for you though

It also mentions the misalignment. the DC knuckles have the same exact "figure/alignment" as the ITRS

I was sold EG/DC hubs for my hatch when the guy told me they were DA hubs. Since the hubgs have been put on, I have a HUGE amount of negative caster and the tie rods are pushed all the way out yet the wheels still poke out like this \ / It's a pretty shitty situation but I got DA hubs now

No. Do not put any DC front knuckles on. It will not be "ok".

Hey how is it going? I am new on here, but I have done just about everything you can do to a crx, to mine. To answer your question you will need DA integra front spindles, while they are off the car I recommend cleaning the spindle and replacing the wheel bearings and lower ball joints. You will also need the appropriate axles. Since the DA is a DOHC and a CRX is SOHC in stock form. I used 92-95 civic axles out of an SI hatch with the D16Z6 motor. You can use the DC brakes on the DA spindle. I'm running GSR brakes on my CRX with DA spindles. If you have any questions hit me up and I'd be glad to share my experiences with anyone here.
