Default 1992 Accord Wagon Suspension (Knuckles&Forks)

Hi guys, I'm new to this site and this is my first post.
I am the proud owner of a 1992 Accord Wagon.
I am in the process of restoring it and making some modifications.
My final goal is to have a nice h22 in there, but first I need to pretty much completely re-do my suspension. I work at a auto parts wholesaler so I get parts mad cheap. I have all the struts, shocks, bushings, tie rods, etc.
Now the only thing I cant seem to find anywhere are the steering knuckles I believe they are called. I have looked around online and such, and can't seem to find them. I was wondering if anyone had any sources where I might be able to find all 4 knuckles front and back. I'm also looking for the strut forks. Thanks.

-Matt

By knuckles if you mean the uprights that the brakes/wheels are bolted to, these are not normally wear items.
On the front, replace the LBJ. If the knuckles are damaged only sources new would be Honda, if they still carry them. Or used from a junkyard.
Same with the front shock forks. Not wear items, only replace if damaged in an accident.

Bring them to a machine shop and have them hot tanked. Only a few bucks to dip/clean them. If there is heavy corrosion they can usually blast them with walnut shells or some other form of media to knock off the corrosion. Make sure ot have the machined/threaded areas protected. Then spray bomb them. Loads cheaper than paying ~250/knuckle.
