Just recieved the outside handles for my 4door. Had to order them as "front" and "rear".

Why?

I looked them over, mic'd them and tried fitting them into both F&R doors, could find nothing different?????:confused:

Then I looked inside on the main body and they have the same casting number???:confused:

So tell me, why are they sold under 2 diffenent part numbers and listed as Front and Rear. when they are identical???

Most of the front and rear door handles I have seen have different length or shape rod that pushes against the door release.
