I am in the process of regearing my 1992 explorer front differential to 4.10. I ordered the new ring and pinion from RockAuto. My question is this:
The gears that showed up are the opposite cut from the factory. They are listed as for the 1992 Explorer Dana 35 front axle, but I think they are meant to be for the Jeep Dana 35 rear axle. Obviously the ring gear that I was sent will match the pinion that I as sent, so the vehicle should still move with the set I was sent. Is the ring/pinion direction set up to be sturdier in forward than reverse? Am I able to use the set I was sent?

Here is a link to the product:

Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
