I wouldn't say "ambidextrous" since there is a Left UCA and a Right UCA and they're not interchangeable. Synonomous, maybe, or "one big 'ol part all stuck together".
As a guy who was shipped two left UCAs and discovered it mid-repair, I learned to check the parts were right.
For the DIY, I'd add torque numbers as well: 80 NM for the nut on the shock tower, 40 for the nut on the ball joint, 65 for bolt to the torsion bar.
