Are they identical such that there is not left and right? If not, how can you tell if an arm is a L or R?
Are rear upper control arms interchangeable (side to side)?

Kyle:
As best I know that is the only suspension component (front or back) that is fully interchangeble side to side. At least it's the only piece I only carry one of!

rear upper arms are the same side to side and for all years. I don't beleave there has even been a updated version over the 15 year run.
FYI front upper control arms are also interchangeable side to side. One exception is on ABS cars that have a little tab to attach the ABS sensor wires to.
