    Yea, but why would you go the effort of buying a second hand swivel from the same side? when it has NO effect which side its fitted on

    You actually got a reason?

    I don't care for that's the way it is, alot of people do stupid things "because, that's how its done here" , not saying what your doing in stupid, but why buy a swivel from the same side??

    Thats not Pats reason

    And it doesn't make sense, as the machined surfaces which house the seal are pretty much in the same spot and if swapping the swivel hub to a different swivel hub housing, it really makes lick difference anyway

    Plus if they're apart you'd be fitting new seals anyway, which is likely where the variance would be in sealing position




    I'm not saying its wrong, it is good practice to refit the same situ, no worries, but if someone rang me and said, could I have a swivel hub from the left hand side.....................I don't think I'd be really concerned

    Personally I wouldn't care which side they go on as I would not go to all the trouble of pulling it down only to refit old balls with new seals.I do this for a living so I do it that way,the customer pays for the work being done and I don't want to send a vehicle out only to have it back a few days later for rework at my cost,but if I fit a second hand part that the owner supplies and there is a problem it is not at my expense that repairs are done.I know were your coming from but I have to cover myself if there is trouble.
