Upper Control Arms

I have 2 questions in regards to both front and rear upper control arms .

Question 1. Is there a left and right part number for the rears on our cars or it's either side?

Question 2. Is it okay to to install them after an alignment or before?

Thanks

www.oemacuraparts.com type in your car and you'll see the different part numbers for left vs right.


before an alignment so you can re-align

I believe the upper arm on the rear is symmetrical; one part, fits both sides. I'll be replacing mine soon as well, but can't see the point in forking over $90 per side when a good part can be found on rock auto for about 1/3 of that. some here are adamant that OEM parts should be used for control arms, I was more than satisfied with the parts I picked up from rockauto.

Here's a website where you can buy the control arms or anything front suspension wise It's Canadian though so I don't know if they may ship to the US. https://ca.autoshack.com/CAK402-607
