left side

Ok I could not figure this out for sure from the online parts view so what side is the left and which side is the right? I think that if you are standing in the front of the car facing it the left would be the passenger side. I noticed that it was turning sharper one way than the other. The spindles are marked left and right facing up top I hope but the shock towers are opposite the spindles. The owners kids beat the heck out of this thing and bent both tie rods almost in a u shape. I am having a tough time as to why the steering stops are different. any help would be appreciated thanks

Left side is the driver's side and right side is the passenger's side.
I would take the tie rods off and straighten them.
Yamaha uses a recirculating ball steering box with a pitman arm and tie rods, adjusting the tie rods to center the steering is the normal step.

thanks, the tie rods are both brand new. I had to straighten the brackets that bolt on the the casters where the tie rods mount. I am guessing they are suppose to be flat. One was bent and rubbing the inside of the wheel. I think I will put a r shock tower with a r spindle now that I know for sure which is which thanks
