Default SH Front Lower Ball joints, are they both the same on each side?

So I'm replacing all of the ball joints in the front of my 97 SH. I got all 4 lower ball joints (2 on each side) out of the knuckle. I bought 4 new lower ball joints from Autozone. Now the joints that go through the LCA I pressed in, they fit tight, whatever. The joints that go through the radius arms just slide right in the knuckle with no pressing or hammering.

I am assuming they are different sizes, or what? They visually look the same. I'm trying to get my Lude back together to get an alignment today, but I have a feeling both lower ball joints are different.

Different part numbers on honda's parts site. That's the best I can do.. never owned or worked on an SH.

3 51220-SL5-013 JOINT, FR. BALL (LOWER)
4 51220-S30-N21 JOINT, BALL (LOWER)
