Ok, so you are at the junkyard and they have alot of knuckles from EFs. Problem is they are only marked Civic. What featues i.e. measurements can I check to make sure I am getting what I am looking for?

Please, no guesses, I am only looking for positive answers here.

 

Is it a pick-your-part? If they have the car there, just look for the bigger MC and Brake booster, and the bigger calipers too, that's one way to tell...

 

Sorry, i should have been more clear. The knuckles are hanging on a rack. That is why I stated 'marked Civic'. Heck, if they were on the car I'd better know the difference

Ahhh I see! And you don't want to trust the intelligent workers there right? I had the same problem...lol

 

the rotors are bigger also

 

possibly the spline count? Can someone confirm that?

I donno, I never heard of the ex in canada...I thought it was a sedan or something.

 

EX's will have 10.2" rotors while the other trim levels will be 9.75"

The left knuckle has LH3-A stamped on it and the right has RH3-A.

good luck, i was weary of the ones i got too, and had to double check, as these things aren't too common.

Thanks for the replies, especially Charles.

 

Great pics!! Thanks for the pics!

 

do you need the ex spindle along with the knuckle for the brake upgrade?

Some people refer to knuckles as spindles.

That's only because they are idiots.

hahaha, yes you need the knuckle and hub, unless you got some new hubs...

 

I think the EX hubs are the same as DX/Si ones, cause when I changed my bearing I just ordered a DX/Si one. And it worked fine.

 

also the dust shield on the back of the rotor has a letter stamped in it, i think it was k and c K is the ex ones, i'll double check on that tomarrow.

 

thats what i was gonna say......but couldnt remember the #s....anyways......thanks for the pics dood

 

Would the 4wd wagon have the same brake setup as the ex.

 

I believe that where the caliper mounts, the bolt holes are further apart on the EX than the SI. THe EX nuckles have the hole spread that accepts the GSR and newer honda caliper brackets.
