Easy airmatic and jackstand question...

Been out of town for a few weeks, took the car out to wash it and noticed it wasn't sitting level. Came out yesterday morning and the front driver side was slammed. I'm at work and can can't quickly find the answer, so a little help.

The driver side is right or left? I've always thought it was right (as looking at the car) but I could be wrong. I need to order the new strut today so I can get it changed out tomorrow.

Also, the jack stand pucks; where is a good place to get them?

Thanks again!

Ah, didn't think about that! So much easier. Thank you! Now time to call Arnott...

driver side is the side with the steering wheel, looking at the car it would be right.

Yes, but vehicle position is viewed when looking from the rear of the vehicle. Left hand turn, left side of the car.

No such thing as drivers side.

Left vs. Right is determined as if you were sitting in the car. Steering wheel location is irrelevant. Hope that helps end the argument that is trying to occur.

I've just done mine a day or two ago. It's called left side or diver side. From the Arnott box, it said left!

That helps my knowledge, had wondered if the L and R struts were interchangable, as I have been thinking of buying and extra pair to bring with for a long roadtrip we are making in our 55
