Upper a-frames

I removed my a-frames, blasted /painted them and installed new bushings and ball joints. Problem is I don't know which is the left side and which is the right.

How do you tell which one goes on which side?

The curve hooks toward the front of the car.
Look at the bottom ones - the uppers hook to the same direction - just a little less pronounced.

Thanks,

The straight side towards the back and the side with the indent towards the front?

I would hate to send it in for a wheel alignment and have it wrong.

Helps me feel jealous.

Actually, that is what my project looked like until I stole the parts off it to rebuild the suspensions on my driver. I will redo the parts off the driver and rebuild the good frame one day.
