S5 vs. S4 steering knuckle (need to replace my S4's)

I need to swap in a new steering knuckle and just need to check if there is a difference in the S4 vs. the S5. I swear I can remember there's a difference between the way the hub mounts, but I need to be certain. Thanks!

FSM calls it a steering knuckle (the whole assembly) :P

I didn't mosh a curb, but had a bad ball joint and in the process of removing the old pinch bolt I destroyed it.

Actually its reffered to as a Steering Knuckle or a Spindle.

A pinion is the gear in your steering system.
