Question:

I read that this strut will replace the current struts on a Sears sport 20-sv. I am wondering if this strut works for both sides or is there a left and right side?

There isn't a left and a right. There is just one strut that works on both sides. Replacement hinge or strut # TH14936 might be a tight fit since it is slightly different than the originals, which are no longer available, but it should still work. We have had customers use this hinge with success on the Sears Sport SV cargo box.

We have also had some customers experience difficulty closing the box because the spring tension is greater in strut # TH14936 compared to # TH14933. Both of these have the exact same dimension but # TH14933 is slightly easier to close for some people. You could use either one.
