Is their a difference between the left and right front lower control arms?

Same length,bushing holes, just a mirror image of each other -
Yep.
Before you start, spray PB Blaster up inside the hole leading to the captive nut that your LCA bolts go into. Do it a few days ahead of time. This should help prevent the dreaded "spinsalot" syndrome!

Yeah the ball joint boots on mine are already shot, and they've only been on the car since March or April. They're the ebay cheapies.91GL BP/F3A with boost

Also, some do, some don't, but as long as the ball joint has a little bump/curve on the bottom. You can drill a small hole and install a grease fitting. This will allow you to add grease to the joint and prolong it's life much longer.(paperboy 23) 88 Festy Blue, aspire Engine/trans/efi swap,

Another thing you can do to extend the rubber boot's life is to spray it with Armor-All.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

IIRC, the Moog's I've seen were "made in Korea."
Hmmm.
