I agree, use what you have ( if new bearings fit axle as required use it ... if you buy a new axle...... be sure you check axle diameter and bearing ID. Bud #3400 ( Drive it like there is no tomorrow -- for there may not be ! )

  I agree with Larry. I have two right hand axles on my car that have
  been there for over 120,000 miles without issue. Use the one you have
  with a new correct threaded nut to match.

  I have heard of owners who discovered their Pantera had two left or two
  right axles. Note: They were not experiencing any problems due to this
  situation.
  There is nothing different between the two axles other than the right
  hand versus left hand thread for the nuts.
  This was done because in theory this approach will minimize either nut
  from loosening during use.
  Dodge/Plymouth at one time (maybe they still do?) used left-hand and
  right-hand threads for the wheel studs. I learned that little fact the
  hard way, but thankfully the two wheel studs I snapped off were not on
  my car.  :-|
  Again, this is technically designed to minimize the nuts from
  loosening, but have you ever heard of a non-Dodge car suffering from
  chronic loosening of wheel nuts?
  Considering the very high torque used to install the axle nuts, I
  really think you could safely use the spare axle you have.
  I am sure others will chime in with their opinions. Ultimately, the
  choice will be yours.
  Good luck.
