In your case, even after replacing the front strut assembly, REPLACE THE KNUCKLE. Also! You're going to need to pull a ...

Plus one on replacing the entire package on the front, especially since you have a donor car. The strut with the hub will be a bit of an armful, but will cut down on the time involved - if you have some help. I've never had to deal with rear suspension stuff aside from shocks, so the advice above wo...
