Default Lower Ball Joint Question

Hi guys,

I'm ordering the 2 front lower ball joints. However, I'm getting 2 different part numbers; one for the front left and one for the front right. Aren't these parts interchangeable? Or do I need to order the left one for the left side and the right one for the right side? Thanks!!

Awesome, thanks guys! I also ordered KYB struts for the front, but I only saw one part number, so I ordered 2 (one for the left and one for the right). That should be ok, right?
