Why are lower control arms marked Left and Right?

    I noticed that the original control arms are marked Left and Right,whereas the replacement control arms aren't marked at all.The reason I'm asking is because a friend of mine(Bob Christo) was replacing his control arms and noticed there were 2 control arms marked LEFT.When he replaced the control arms with new ones,those weren't marked at all. Anyone know what the difference is,or isn't there any?

    Thanks guys.

    I installed replacement boxed arms from TPP last year and they weren't marked L or R either. I don't think they are identical though. Seems to me there is a slight offset in the arms.
