I've asked this question before and received an answer but I want to ask it again. The OEM seals have two different part numbers, I'm assuming to designate left/right even though you can't buy them. But are the seals interchangeable ? A left will fit the right and right will fit the left ? The last time I asked the answer was yes they will fit either side. I just want to clarify that point as we move a little closer. At this point I don't know how exact/precise the new seals will be or will they be a little more " generic " and will easily fit either side ? Really just thinking out loud.
