I have 2 questions that might sound dumb asking but...

1. How can you tell from a driver side spindle and a passenger side spindle?

2. How can you tell from a driver side kingpin torsion arm link from a passenger side?

I think the torsion arms will fit left or right, the spindles won't because of the taper for the tie rods and also one spindle has a hole through it for the speedometer cable.

The arms for the steering rods should point towards the rear of the car.... and also the hole for the speedo cable is on the drivers side as already mentioned
