front axle seals different sizes?

[davejal1991]

I bought what i believe to be the two front axle seals for where the solid axle meets the cv axle on the right and left side and the two seals are different sizes. Is this correct?

yes, the seals are different sizes.
the driver's side is larger, iirc.
