When people ordering parts for their cars or projects, it is very important for them to buy the correct side. Because wrong parts can’t be mounted on cars, which always cause many problems and big lost. So how to confirm which is right side or left side? There are some methods as below:
1. In most country, left side is driver side, the right side is passenger side.
As I said in the headline, in most country, you can confirm car parts side according to driver site. The driver side is the left side, the passenger side is right side. But the method is not 100% correct, because in some countries, driver side is on right side, these countries are including United Kingdom, Japan, India and so on.
2. Sit in car and establish a 100% correct rule for left and right side.
No matter the driver seat is in left side or right side, just dream that you are sitting in the car,then your left side is always the left, and your right side is always the right side. We’ve established a rule which side is right and left, just remember it when ordering your next car part. It will keep you from making a blunder.
3. For bulk buy, people order car parts according to Part numbers.
For car part, the part number is identification number. The part number for right side and left side are different and unique. So if you order car parts according to part numbers, you always get the correct parts.
4. Determine left or right side according to printed mark.
Car manufacturers were aware of this problem a few years ago and used printing “L” or”R” on the assembly parts for headlights and taillights, so you wouldn’t get confused. But there are so many different components on the left and right side of a car that it’s easy to confuse one with the other.
5. Conclusion
I think , after reading the 4 methods, you can determine car parts for left side and right side easily. If you want to find any exterior car parts and plastic car parts, welcome to contact with us.
