GSL-SE Strut/Spindle: Are they ambidextrous??

I've tried searching and can't find it. Are the front spindle/strut tube assemblies side specific? I've got the front end taken apart on my GSL-SE parts car and they look to be identical from side to side once you take the steering knuckle and caliper mounting bracket off of the spindle/strut.

It looks to me like the only thing determining which side they go on would be the direction you mount the steering knuckle and the caliper mounting plate....If anyone could confirm my suspicions please let me know.

Thanks,
jeremy

lol...I guess that would have made more sense. I'm adding symmetrical to my list of "to use" words, taking ambidextrous off.

Thanks for the input.

Best Regards,
jeremy
