Default 02 sensors different on right and left why?

I need new 02 sensors before the cat,
and when I went to the stealership they told me they were out of the driver's side one which has a different part # than the passenger side.
Is it 'cause of the lenght of the wires? or something else that makes them different?

Probably different wire lengths. Certain aftermarket brands list all four as the same.
Stock sensors all have the same number on them.

all sensors should be the same. As was said, wire length is probably what makes the difference. Wouldn't be surprised if the dealership people didn't know that.

I noticed you were running long tubes from your sig. If thats the case alot of people are running the ones that are used on the corvettes for the added length of them. The bosch part # is 13111 IIRC. Besides that there should be no difference between the passenger and driver side.

Thanks,

I am running the rear vette 02s (13111)
so I'm getting those instead of the 02 camaro sensors,
