    Exclamation Need Help... CV/axle question

    Hi,
    Need to know if the front CV axles (cv to cv) are identical left and right.
    Napa has them in stock for $87 each, but they are listed as Right side on the part description.
    I measured both shafts and they are both 19.75" long.
    I was going to just put new boots on, but then found that the cvs are pitted badly and overheated/melted/rubbed/pooled (I hope that's a good enough description).
    I know about the Empi's being ok, but has anyone had experience with Napa shafts?
    These are new, not rebuilt.
    part number: 94-6029
    I did a search, but couldn't find this specific info.
    Also, I ordered cv boots from Napa and they are Empi brand, relabled for Napa.
    So, hoping the cv shafts are Empi too...

    Also, if the shafts are not correct, can the CV's be swapped to the original shafts?
    Thank you for any help!
