I've got a pair of lower ball joints from TPS. No where on the packet does it say nearside or offside.
I have:
6N0 407 365
6N0 407 365 A
Which is which please?
Cheers.

365 left
365 A right
That’s looking at the front of the car from memory. You can tell looking at the one you take off as the holes are different

I can see they are different in shape. It's strange as the invoice tells me which track rod end is which side and then nothing for the ball joints.

Just confirmed with tps. The 'A' suffix is the near side ball joint.

If you think you've got it sorted in your own mind now, you can have a read of the above thread and get confused again
