Default DA knuckles/spindles on ek?

Hi i have a 97 civic, the front left wheel is super cambered in but the rest of the wheels have perfect alignment. Previous owner said b/c it has the DA knuckle/spindle on that corner, he said i can just get a Dc2 knuckle/spindle and it'll make the wheel sit straight. Is this true?
Thanks.

Thats the thing, it has gsr brakes in the rear and for some reason DA stuff on the front left and the front right is like off a Ex or Si or something with integra calipers. It has crossdrilled&slotted rotors for a integra, so if i get the original part its suppose to have the rotor wont fit right? Sorry i dont really know about brakes.
Thanks.

Okay. Better question. Why did the owner say he Frankensteined the brake setup like that? I've never heard that Integra braking components introduces camber when used on a Civic. However I've never mixed and matched parts on my car either.

I dont know, his phone has been turned off. Maybe because its from the DA and DA stuff is only suppose to be on Efs? And Dc2 stuff on Eks and Egs?
