Default 90-91 EX Knuckles Confusing Me! Help!!

Well I just ordered a set of 90-91 EX knuckles and I notice that the driver side knuckle is bent more in than the passenger. I already searched on this and the knuckles have the stamp code on them driver side is LH3-A and the passenger is RH3-A. In my searches I found that if I have these codes on the knuckles, it should be from a 90-91 Civic EX sedan. I'm just confused on one is bent in more than the other. I would post pics but no digi cam. Can somebody help?

I did the conversion and didn't notice that one was different from the other!

Sounds like one is bent (just like what everybody else has said)

Well now my buddy that got them, tells me that both of the knuckles came from different salvage yards. The one with a slight bent or angle has the 10.3" rotors on them. The other one without a rotor on it just knuckle and hub looks different without the slight angle like the other, but both of them have the stamp numbers for EX knuckles that I search on. AHHH!!!!!! I just need a pic of comparisons.

JDMCivicEF9;

On the assumption that you are putting these on a 4G Civic or 2G CRX, you already have everything you need.

The reason for using those specific knuckles is that they are dimensionally the same as what you already have!

Just pull off the wheels on your car and compair them to the ones already on the car. All the angles should be the same. Only the attachment for the caliper should be notably different.

There is one other real minor difference in that the attachment points for the brake lines is at a different angle.
