Right ?

They will only go on one side.

To match the L/R threads in the two trunnions the two vertical links have corresponding L/R threads and if you have the vertical link on the wrong side the brake calliper will be to the front of the car so the brake pipes won't fit and the steering arm will be to the rear so the track rod ends won't fit.

And the stub axle will point the wrong way?
