There is a left part and a right part. So if you need a left, order a left. If you need a right, order a right.

Why is this driving you nuts?

Yes, they are different lengths. Passenger side is longer than the driver side.

i am re assembling the rear sub frame, putting the diff in, now onto axles and what not...having problems with the control arms, I suppose due to the fact that I did not have the fore thought to make sure the axels were the same or different. Hmmm sucks when you are me but that explains a few things THANKS!!!

don't worry about it blackout...I discovered they were different lengths the hard way too...and somehow got the longer passenger axle installed on the drivers side.

Now i managed to get both sets of control arms up in less than 3 hours. It went up alot easier with the correct axle on the correct side. Car will be almost ready to rock and roll.

Crossin my fingers to hope that honda has spindle nuts in stock at the dealer
