Question about left and right?

Post by SpookyDad »

When we talk about the various left and right parts, are we talking about standing in front of the vehicle looking at it or sitting in the driver's seat looking forward?

I know it is something I should know but I always forget. I need to write it down but then I would forget where the paper is. :D

FYI.....

In the US, "SAE Standard" for right and left side engine components and rotation is always "facing the flywheel" SAE Standard Rotation is CCW facing the flywheel.
