Is there a difference between driver & passenger front struts?

My passenger side coilover broke in half... I've sourced 2 front struts, but they are both for the left side...

What is difference between the left and right struts?

And which side of the car is which... Some people say the drivers side is the right, and some people told me the passenger side is the right.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

It's fairly obvious that the strut housing only goes on one side of the car. The steering arm, in comparison to the mounting bracket for the knuckle, is the dead give away. In this case, two lefts won't solve the problem.

yah.,.. I don't know what the hell i was thinking.

.. Just a moment of panic, cant be without a vehicle right now. I got both struts, and threw my old sportlines on them... But i need to raise the rear end up because it looks like i have 4 people in the rear right now.
