    the ball joint is bigger on the 05-06 knuckle to a arm and the hub is bigger also.

    for the rear I actually only swapped the hub and disc, caliper and everything else it the same, you may notice that you gain positive camber on the front end when you use the type s knuckles I just used camber bolts, but this could be also because i still have stock suspension

    check that your knucles are not bent.. Even slightly will br a PITA to align.

    no way to really check if they are bent, but both sides had the exact same amount of camber Im just going to assume it is because of stock Ep3 4x4 ride height lol

    mine were bent. you can kinda tell they will be completely strait. 90 degree angles. if you have them off or can fit a ruller under it to mesure it line it up and if the lines are crooked its probably bent. i put mine on by wiggling it in there and it had a -3 toe lol thats how i could tell -.-
