i had bought a pair of spindles with no arms on ebay one had the smaller dia seal journal and one had the standard dia for which i had alreday installed my new seal. I had went ahead and used the left spindle on the right assuming the geometry was centered. It went together fine. however i...

I want to know if I can swap a left front spindle for the right, if the steering arms have been removed. I am using bolt-through bolt-on dropped steering arms. or is there some geometry in the spindle that would prevent this. The reason i am asking is the right spindle that I have has a 1/8"...
