are the front lower control arms interchangable between sides cause iwas going to order one but it doesn't specify side

I don't think so... as the sway bar mounting locations are sunk into the c.arm... but don't quote me on this as there are two different control arm for the different years, I believe these revolved around the difference in sway bar design/mounting...
That being said could you list what year and model you are talking about, this would make things easier to narrow down...

Yeah, you can switch the steel arms from side to side.

There are two different numbers because some arms come without swaybar mounts and some come with sway bar mounts.

The arms are built symmetrical so you can use the same part for left or right side, just flip them over.

Same thing if you get arms with swaybar mounts, because again, the mounts are symmetrical, and you flip them over for the other side of the car.

If you are buying used arms, make sure that they are straight, and not cracked. If you have the time, get them seam welded, blasted and powdercoated before you install them.
