they did that becuz there was a safety issue bro.. i used to be a tech at acura.. but they wont tell u that cuz they dont want customers to worry.. so .. instead of letting shops replacing the ball joint w/ possibility of failure still.. they just sold the whole knuckle..

It's hard or even close to impossible to even find an aftermarket lower ball joint.
