I looked up on part number and the 96-00 civic's rear upper control arms, aka camber arm, and noticed that the arms have left and right side denoted.

I took out mine and looked at one of the arm, and the arm's one side is curved in where the other side of arm is curved out.

I was wondering if it is okay to put left UCA on the right and vice versa.

Just want to know if there is a reason behind having left and right side distinguished. LCAs are the same, but why not UCAs?

 

i had the same though just for ***** and giggles when i put on my camber kit, i really cant remember what my though process was, but my end result was "i better put these on right" so i suggest you do the same.

 

i think they have different angles on them.. not really sure.. but i did the same as above.. lol... you can check the part numbers as well

 

hmm the reason i am asking this question is because my passenger's side UCA was damaged and bought a used from from a junk yard. So basically i am running on two driver's side UCAs right now. I assumed the part is the same for left and right since LCA have no left/right specified.

They have different angles? what do you mean?? because the driver's side UCA fit without a problem on passenger's side. I can see the UCAs are mounted in an angle and I am thinking that may be the reason behind having left/right UCAs.

Thanks guys for your help!
