Taken from something on ebay
The right and left sides of an automobile or the engine are determined facing forward from rear of car or as from the point of view of being seated inside the car, facing the front (ie, from the driver's seat).
Driver's side = Left side (We drive left hand-drive vehicles)
Passenger side = Right side (We drive on the Right side of the road.

the motor shaft (the part that bolts to the lift arm) go thru the motors in a reverse direction from one side to the other, how can they be the same part number? they are different.
also FYI to anyone reading the passenger side motor for 98-02 is the drivers side for 93-97 and the driver side motor for 98-02 is the passenger for 93-97.

I think I just noticed that last time I had them out that the assemblies are made from the same parts. I recall that the gear case is just rotated around the motor.
Maybe that's why so many people are getting "new" motors with the polarity on the assemblies reversed?

OK, I was basing that off of what I read in the Rodney Dickman gear replacement instructions, maybe I misread or misunderstood what it was saying, but that was a while ago I did that.
