look up both parts in hondapartscheap.com or hondapartsnow.com and see if they're the same exact part number.

 

im not too sure on the parts # or anything. but i swapped mine and its fine

 

A Knuckle Ass seems like a serious problem...

 

you can check as well as anyone else, but since you haven't, i'm gonna assume there's a good reason, so...

AP1 (03):

52210-S2A-000 003 001 KNUCKLE, R. RR. 219.70 158.18 Qty:
52215-S2A-000 004 001 KNUCKLE, L. RR. 219.70 158.18 Qty:

AP2 (04):

52210-S2A-010 003 001 KNUCKLE, R. RR. 232.60 167.47 Qty:
52215-S2A-010 004 001 KNUCKLE, L. RR. 232.60 167.47 Qty:


so, in conclusion, no, they are not the same. do with it what you will

 

They may not be the same part number, but the rear knuckle is interchangeable. I'm using Ap1 knuckles on my AP2 rear subframe and control arms.

 

Knuckles seem to be the same just put ap2 knuckle on ap1 but did have to swap out the ball joint

 

You may be ok if you replace both sides and perhaps the assembly, but AP1 and AP2 knuckles are NOT the same.
There are slight angle differences on the knuckle. So while it may roll straight, I had noticed the weight shifting on the rear to be unstable during my track day. It was more twitchy on double apex turns as well.
Replaced it again with AP1 knuckle and the rear end is stable and happy.

There's a reason for the difference in part numbers.

Front spindles are interchangeable between AP1 and AP2, but not the rear.
