The left side is the driver side, right side is passenger side. On a trailer brake assembly like # 23-105 the arm that the magnet is on points to the front of the trailer and the magnet always will be on the bottom. I have included a picture that shows what I mean. The matching right side assembly is # 23-106.

A little confused here on the left or right orientation Of brakes. The curve is the arm leads forward and the magnet trails behind? Thanks Eric Stosius
