Q: boxed lower control arms

I recently perched a set of boxed lower control arms. I received in the package two BLCA that are exactly the same. I emailed the seller and the response was, "they should be different. Left and Right." I responded and asked for a RMA and shipping label. So I waited for a few days. Nothing, so I called to ask about the RMA and described the situation over the phone. He stated, "No, they are the same on both sides. The bushing only press in from one side."
What you think/know about after market boxed lower control arms?

The seller is correct. The only thing that matters is that the arms are the same length. There is no issue with the fact that they are both the same. That's how GM did it. There is no need for different RH/LH designs so why spend the money on tooling and warehousing?
