i got a zc swap wit 90-93 teg axles and knuckles. ive driven it dor a few months now and im just not happy with the way the ride feels. what year knuckles off a civic ex should i get or can i just get si knuckles>?

 

90/91 EX knuckles.

You can get Si knuckles, but it won't have the big brakes like the EX knuckles.

Are you after different knuckles for reasons of brake swap or do you have a different motive?

 

what exactly are you not happy about?
1990-1991 civic EX knuckels will utilize your current calipers.

what I'm wondering............

 

Why do you want to change them?

 

I assume he doesn't like the way the steering feels with the Integra knuckles?

Maybe, but it feels the same to me.

 

I bet he'd be mad if he changed to EX knuckles and still felt something he didn't like

LOL, I'd know I'd be. But then again I got EX knuckles in my garage right now, I'm gonna swap them for my Teg knuckles I have on my crx now.

Hey EL Vap133, how about a definitive before and after the knuckle swap? Would like to know if there is any diff performance wise. I got lucky finding my EX knuckles (not bent) but there are a lot more teg knuckles than EX.

Oh but of course!

 

the steering sux ive had an alignment done and it isnt very good still. when i hit a bump the wheel will turn left or right on me so u can imagine how that goes over at 75 on the highway in a turn. it aint cool. i have the integra caliperson there now but ive also got my old hf calipers. which u think would be the best way to go

Sounds like you could have issues other than the Teg knuckles. Have you checked for loose tie rod ends, balljoints, etc?

make sure you use your stock UCA, that puts the knuckles in a better position.
i had GSR knuckles and UCA on the car at first and it had exhibited some bumpsteer.
after installing my stock UCA and keeping the GSR knuckles, the steering became a lot crisper and less volatile. i have installed the EX knuckles after that and noticed only marginal improvement over the SI UCA / GSR knuckles configuration. the camber curve is now back to what is supposed to be, and with some positive caster the turn-in is improved.

DA knuckles are great, same **** as any other except theres a lil better response in steering i would say or something.
