Could be. I've never done this before and just guessed. At this point I'm not going to take apart the entire front end to flip it. In fact I am not even sure what it does or how that chamfer affects anything, whether inboard or outboard.

Zac: It shouldn't matter if the axle is in the truck or out of the truck when replacing the balljoints - the steering knuckle needs to come off of the axle before you can press the balljoints out of the knuckle anyways.
