If you have speed bleeders, does it matter if the passenger side caliper were to go on the driver's side or vice versa???

this is in reference to ZJ rear calipers, which are identical left/right......

What help would a speed bleeder give you if the air pocket is on the opposite end?

Bleeders are *ALWAYS* at the highest point, where an air bubble would naturally collect.

I believe the calipers are not identical. If you swap them, the bleeder valves will end up on the bottom.
