Quite often we can see, in the name of a car part, abbreviations N/S and O/S. But what do they stand for?

Here’s a simple guide for you to ensure you’ll always remember which way round nearside and offside of your vehicle are. Trust us, this will be a massive help the next time you need to replace a light, wing mirror, brake caliper or any other car part which is located on both sides of your car.

NEARSIDE

The near side is the side nearest to the kerb. This is also abbreviated to ‘N/S’. This is also known as the passenger side.

OFFSIDE

The off side is the side away from the kerb. This is also abbreviated to ‘O/S’. This is also known as the driver side.

There are some car parts that dont have a deigated side such as car engine oil which is located internally
