appreciate all the info. my axle has the the king pin stud(with fastening nut) oriented in the same direction as the "shim hole". the axle was rebuilt by Sid Drapal with a 3" drop. That should not have an effect on the orientation or king pin assembly.

Anybody have a picture of the original axle installed, where the spindles are visible?
