It's usually not too difficult to identify front control arms from rear ones.....

Get under the front of the car, and look at what holds the front wheels in place, which is a big A-shaped thing; then get under the rear of the car, and notice a bar with a bushing at each end right next to each rear wheel.

Install them. They'll be fine. Your car's wheelbase might be a quarter inch longer; but that's not a problem. More likely, your old ones just have worn-out bushings.
