left or right?

[beerhunter]

One of my calipers has suddenly decided it wants to stick.

I'm hoping I'll be able to get it working again, but I had a look on Rock Auto, in case I do need a new one.

I note they are listed as for the right or left. Apologies for the noddy question, but when sellers say that, is it from the perspective of if you were sat in the vehicle?

Much obliged.

From the drivers seat

 

[beerhunter]

Thanks for the speedy reply.

I figured that would be the case, but didn't want to find out the hard way.

Cheers!

No worries, i asked the same question roughly a week ago and it sparked a pretty decent debate, for whatever reason

I think most of us are still trying to figure out what we were even arguing about.

Well around here if we haven't started an argument that nobody knows what it is about then it must have been an easy question and we are seeing how far and how fast we can drag the thread away from the original topic.

Yes, drivers side and passenger side designation would be better unless.................you had a UK or Japan import, or an old postal vehicle, lol.

How about 'from -any- forward facing seat'?

Which is why we use left and right.

 

[RonD]

Yes, same as we say "left turn" or "right turn", any driver in any country knows those directions

But what if your backing up a trailer.............................lol,

 

[rusty ol ranger]

How about Port and starboard?

No, no... your other right.

 

[adsm08]

No, no... your other right.

Wait, my right or stage right?

 

[rusty ol ranger]

Wait, my right or stage right?

Right and left are for sissies anyway.

Real men use actual directions.
