Driver side upstream, if you have replaced both already, it may be time to do the cats,

Yes change the rears as well. Although it says it would be upstream a bad O2 downstream can give off the code as well.

look if you have a exhaust leak ( even a really small one) at the cats flanges. I had the same codes p0430 and 431 and the really small leak there was enough to trigger the code. 2 gaskets and the problem was gone.. It's worth a look before you start changing cats lol
