Is there such a thing as a left and right front spindle? I'm not talking about the entire assembly, just the spindle itself. I'm about to put it all back together and I don't see any different in the spindles, but I don't want to take a chance of getting them backwards.

I just looked at mine and they do look identical. I would think that if they were different there would be a casting number on them to indicate left or right.

I did see some casing numbers and they were different, however I don't think these are part numbers or anything. One was something like "4B" and the other one was different.

Hi,
Only one part number for the front 'knuckle' indicates there is no right or left. The knuckle is symmetrical.
The steering arm makes them a right or left.

I found the caliper brackets to be direction pretty easily along with the casting notation. I was pretty sure the spindles were the same on both sides, just wasn't 100% sure.

Hopefully next week I will be putting it all back together again and it will be on the road for this fall.
