They are the same part for either left or right. However, there are two different part numbers for base/PEG/PEP/touring and then R-models.

The arm for base/touring models should be part number: F123-28-2A0A

The R-model arm is: FD01-28-2A0B

I looked up in the part index and only saw one part number for the arm, not a left and right suffix. In the index, they list an arm for the base and R-model suspension but no separate left/right.

I know how knowledgable you are so I believe you, but could you "prove me wrong" so I can see where I'm missing it?

Wow tyler, I'm gonna make you come over and chage my arm for misleading me...your no friend .

really... I only have 1 bad bushing now. My lower control arm bushing is bad. My clunking when I hit my brake is 99 pct gone, I can slightly feel another clunk on the same side, that must be the lower control arm bushing. My squeeking has been gone since then too...

So for now I'm gonna keep that arm

OK, my BAD... I read front upper control arm not rear!

Last night I changed out a right rear upper control arm probably 30 before I read this post, I don't know what I was thinking. Anyway I had 3 of them in my hands, they do look identical.

Sorry rynberg.

I tried to change mine out myself last night,but the bolt near the caliper that holds that shocky thingy in place would not come loose, so I took it to a shop.

Cool, that means that I CAN read a parts index. I was beginning to wonder about myself for a minute there.....
