Because it's supposed to be that way on both the front and rear.

Was supposed to end that sentence with "on the left side of the jeep."

I don't know what happened with the last part of the sentence.

I'm having trouble fully understanding what you really mean, but maybe someone put the left hand thread hubs on the front and r-h on the rear, or maybe you got 3 l-h hubs in a poorly done rebuild?
