The other "tip" would be that it says "tension/compression" strut. That 100000% indicates a front suspension arm (RWD uses a compression strut, AWD a tension strut).

The inner side of a front tension strut uses a rubber/hydraulic mount prone to failure. There is no other spot on the car that description would be referring to, period.
