A parts question; A junkyard question Options

[Langing]

Have never done it before, but I plan on visiting local auto junkyards very soon to try to find a steering knuckle to replace the one I have that has bent ears. I'm looking for two things: advice on using auto junkyards from you experts, such as how to know the part was not involved in a collision if it has already been removed (and yeah, I'm a little scared of the dog), and I need to know what vehicles used the same knuckle as my manual 94 Celica ST Coup (1.8L) w/o ABS. I know it's the same for all 94-99 Celicas, but are there any others that used the same part?

The Toyota part number is 43211-29015.

Would very much appreciate getting advice.

TIA

1. That Toyota part number doesn't look up to anything, bad number?
2. There's a split, 93-95 and 95+.

43211 KNUCKLE, STEERING, RH
43211-20260 1 $276.21
43211-20270 W(ABS) (09/1993 - 03/1995) 1 $319.06
43211-20271 W(ABS) (04/1995 - ) 1 $303.60

43212 KNUCKLE, STEERING, LH
43212-20220 1 $276.21
43212-20230 W(ABS) (09/1993 - 03/1995) 1 $319.06
43212-20231 W(ABS) (04/1995 - ) 1 $303.60

I don't know what the difference is, but it is a 6th gen only part.
