This is the second time I post on this site and this time is share some info.

Ok the say a picture says more than a thousand words. That's why I took some pictures so you can see the difference between the Drivers and Passenger side lower control arms.

This picture shows the difference between the lower control arms. The replacement "left" the passenger side "middle and the drivers side "right". Notice the size of the ball joint and the different length of the arms.

I included the replacement lower control arm that most cheap auto stores provide claiming that it fits both sides when is not truth. Usually this part goes bad really quick!

I really hope this info helps because these ball joints are the weak point of the 2g DSM! ;)
