If you order a pair you'll have no problem but I think they fit any side

They are both sided so you need to buy one of each trust me they have a gap for the left or right.
Replaced mine last week.

Nice one fellas, top advice as usual!
Are you all using measurements from the old ones (i.e. exposed number of threads from locknut) or is there a specified measurement when fitting new ones?

best bet is get it as close as you can and then take it to get the tracking done
