Can Friction Sway Control Unit Install On Either Side of Trailer

Question

Question:

I have converted from a 5th wheel to a straight hitch. The unit i purchased from a privet owner comes with a Curtis Load Leveling system and 1 sway bar. Having read your info... the unit is 30foot with a GTW of 7000lbs and you recommend that there should be 2 Sway Control bars... So... my Question is are the bars universal or is there a right and left side? Regards
