Panhards are pretty much reversible to suit your LHD.

No problems at all.

The bushes on the panhards are the same on both sides on each mounting part. So just whack it on ;)

Does your panhard join the car body at the right hand side with a small bolt going through it? Does your panhard join the diff on the left hand side with a larger bolt welded to the diff?
