I believe for your year there ae a total of 4 o2 sensors 2 right 2 left. That said the forward and rear sensors are sometimes different. So in that respect Autozone is correct.
How many miles on the vehicle? It is recommended tha o2 sensors be changed as they are considered consumables. Milage is different depending on motor size and vehicle type.
 






the difference in ford sensors anyway from bank 1 to bank 2 is the length of the wires.
 






The motor is a 302 5.0 and it has a 144.x.. miles. I just bought the thing last week for a grand and i put new exhaust manifold gaskets on it new plugs and wires.And i gotta make sure it will pass Massachusetts inspection. Waskly The length is the only thing the plugs arn't different in anyway i read about the access panel to get to them. I need to go check them out. Thanks for the input.
