Default hub conversion question

well on my 93 honda accord the left wheel bearing and outer tie rods are bad so I figured since I have to replace the bearing I might as well do both and do the rotor over hub conversion. I have a question though because in the guides its not specific on the knuncle. Can I use my same 93 honda accord knucle and i'm just replacing the hubs and rotors? and am I reusing the bake caliper mounts off the 93 or the acura?

You can use the same knuckle, wheel bearings, etc. from the Accord. The only things you need are the hubs and rotors from a 98-99 Acura CL. You still use your 93 brake calibers and mounts.

I just did this swap not long ago on my 96. For the 96 the knuckles are the same part so you can just swap the hubs or you can swap the whole knuckle. I ended up having to use the CL knuckle on ones side due to the lower ball joint hole being enlarged and not holding the ball joint tightly on my car. I'm not positive if the 93's are the same knuckle or not, so you may want to check the part numbers.

The Acura CL and the 96 Accord use the same brake pads, so you can get brake pads listed for either car. I got a discount buying a "package" with pads/rotors for a CL. Double check on this before getting them for the 93. If they aren't the same you can just use the 93 brake pads as well and just change the rotors.

98-99 CL 2.3 hubs/rotors are the only conversion parts needed. Bearings are the same, best to just use new ones and press them on the CL hubs for a quick swap.
