Expert Reply:

If you look at the wheel cylinder of the brake assemblies part # 23-399 and # 23-398 you'll see the letters L and R stamped on them. The R means right hand side and L means left. I attached a picture that points out the letter.

Right side means passenger Left side means driver.

Thanks Jameson. If all brake companies would say Driver side or Passenger side it would be clearer. Looking at a truck both sides can be Right but only one side can be Driver!

@Daryn I agree it should be clearer to understand. The right and left designation would be if you were viewing the vehicle/trailer from the rear. So right hand would be passenger and left hand would be driver.
