I see axles removed and new CV boots a few years ago.

Jasper, when you turn to the right (a hard long turn IF possible), you will put the load on the left side bearings and you will know if it's a front or a rear one.

Thank you, I’ll try when I get home and and see if I get any results.

Please remember that this 'technique..' only works with the engine off, rolling downhill :-)
good luck!
