89 Si and 90 DX, how compatible

I picked up a 1989 Si with a Y7 motor installed as a parts car for my 90 DX. The plan was to pull body parts off the Si to clean up the DX but with the Y7 motor and the over all body condition of the Si, I am tempted to got the other way now.

The main problem with the Si is suspension, CV's, bent wheel hub. On visual inspection all the parts look interchangeable for the DX to the Si. Are they the same front ends underneath?

The first step will be to swap out the knuckle/hub and driveshaft on the passenger side as one unit if this will work.

Thanks for any input.
