Stop. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200...
The rears are swapped, all right. The hubs on each side of the car should
say the same thing front and back. Your fronts are correct, the rears are
not. Get that fixed pronto.
Your reference point is from the driver's position, looking forward. There-
fore left is left and right is right, regardless of which side the steering
wheel is on. (Remember that American cars are "left hand drive" 'cause the
steering wheel is on the left.) Jaguar put "(LEFT)" and "(RIGHT)" in paren-
theses on the hubs to help out the yanks who were getting confused by near
and offside terminology.
Good luck, and drive carefully! (I guess backwards would be safe, for now...)
