   I have a macpherson strut and a wishbone from my old saxo vtr, what's the easiest way to tell what side they are from? I want to sell them but can't remember if they were near side or off side. I think I've figured out the wishbone but it's the strut I'm having real problems with.

   if you hold it so the hub is facing you, is the part the track rod end mounts to, on the left or the right?

   if the track rod end mounts are on the left, then its drivers side, if they are on the right...its passenger side
