Parts identification confusion ?

So if one was going to gmparts and wanted to know which one is the radius rod, it doesn't list it. What's listed is the "front lower control arm" and the "rear lower control arm"
Which one/part is the so called radius rod in the front suspension?

The "front" one is the radius rod - the one with a bend in it - because the radius rod is located in front of the "lower control arm".

So would it be fair to assume that this picture is incorrect? There seems to be a lot of confusion on which part the radius rod is.

Blue is the lower control arm, pink is the radius rod. GM refers to them as lower control arm rear(blue) and lower control arm front(pink).

Indeed; as BMR Tech inferred, that picture is wrong.
