Pad each axis label with a string of blanks that makes both axes 
labels take up the same space.

showplot[plt_] := Show[plt,
    Ticks -> {Automatic,
        Prepend[(Ticks /. 
                AbsoluteOptions[plt])[[2]], 
          {0.001, StringJoin[Table[" ", {5}]]}]},
    DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction]

p1 = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, 
      DisplayFunction -> Identity];

p2 = Plot[1000Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, 
      DisplayFunction -> Identity];

showplot[p1];

showplot[p2];
