My garage tells me that the bearings have gone in my rear offside radius arm, so I'm going to get a re-con one from Minispares (my Min is a '95 SPi). On the MS site they only advertise them as "left hand" and "right hand" - but is that as you look at the car head on or as you sit in it?!

 

Which should I get for offside?

 

Thanks for any advice.

Right hand

Thanks David! :)

The left and right of all forms of transportation is the same. The left (port) side of a ship, aeroplane, bus, coach, car or train is always as looking towards the front from the back.

The left becomes the right when you go the other way  .

If it's a push me pull you surely it wouldn't have radius arms? Wouldn't it have 2 front subbies instead?

I think he meant like a Blackpool tramcar - can go either way.

Off side is furthest side to the curb.

Near side is nearest side to curb. That is if you are in the UK.
