I think we are just not quite on the same wavelength... No biggie.I think the issue is the pivot point on the swing bar actually, regardless of which bike rack. Kuat does offer it in either a passenger or driver orientation.
If I'm missing something please elaborate.
From the pictures linked prior in the thread (this). It looks pretty clear that the Kuat part of a complete rack system (i.e. just the 2 bars with 2 hitch adapters and a big pivot) can mount and clear all parts of the vehicle whether the pivot is on the left or right. However, once you add the separate actual bike trays (1Up, QuickRStuff, etc.) then you may not be able to get full vehicle door swing/opening unless the Kuat pivot is left and the bike/bike rack swings left (again exactly as shown in pictures in link above).
