Question 98+ steering knuckle question

I just finished installing a pair of used 98+ knuckles as part of a brake upgrade and I noticed the passenger side knuckle is about 3/4" closer to the spring than the drivers side. [Of course I didn't think to look at my old ones before I removed them.] Does this sound like one or both are bent or is there a difference between sides? The car is still up on stands and I'm going to hold off finishing it until I find an answer.
Thanks.

Might be bent, the sure fire way to tell is to get an alignment, heck it might be bent in a beneficial way, you never know.

Installed the wheels and set it on the ground, the right wheel is leaning in at the top. Should there be this much difference from the original knuckle?
