According to the parts list they are the same on both sides for 2004 but the 2005 year has a different parts I think for different models. Confusing.
Look at the Parts Manual in the documentation thread.
The 2004s fit differently to the later shafts if I recall. Fit new boots while you are at it, thatbrubber is getting old, buy the Mercedes numbered boots.
