The Moss  catalog/website seems clear to me that
the two different arms are not "just  flipped upside down".  Rather the right
front arm is the same as the  left rear arm (661-010) and the right rear arm 
is
the same as the left  front arm (661-020).  Two different arms on each side, 
but
the same  two arms make either a RH or a LH set.  The result puts the fulcrum 
 in
the same relative location on both sides, as 661-010 always goes on the  
outside
of 661-020.


Page 40 part 8 #661-020 is control arm upper R/H rear & L/H front.  $14.95
Page 40 part 9 #661-010 is control arm upper R/H front & L/H  rear    N/A
 
Unless I am reading this incorrectly, they only offer one of the  pair.  In 
order to make the set part #661-020 has to be used for  both.  One has to be 
flipped over to make the set, and this is what I have  on the right side of my 
car.
 
My digital camera was stolen so I guess it is time to go get another.
 
I will check with TRF to see if they sell a R & L set.
