Default question about left/right on ordering parts

ok.. this might be extremely stupid and it probably is but i just want to be safe...

if I was looking directly at the ass of my car and my RIGHT differential mount was bad.. would that be considered right on the part? heh.

For a LHD car in the USA, The left side is the drivers. The right side is the passengers.

It depends whether you are standing on your head or not. If not, then left is right. But if you're upside down that is reversed.

Always reference Left or Right from the seated driver's perspective.

Hope Strat can help you. As mentioned [for future reference] in USDM LHD vehicles, the best way to refer to parts / position on a vehicle would be "driver's" and "passenger's" side.
