So I have the rear hubs off to do the rear bearings. When cleaning up the retaining nuts I noticed the ones from the drivers side are larger than the passenger side. I measured the spindle size where the bearings go and they are the same 1.03" and 1.63" approx. on all 4.

The thread size diameter measures 0.73" on the passenger side and 0.84 on the driver's side. Obviously the spindles on one side have been changed at some point. Bearing size seems the same.

Can anyone shed some light on the two different sizes?

Thanks
