    .nav > li > .parent {
        background-position: 95% 50%;
    }
    .nav li li .parent {
        background-image: url("/images/downArrow.png");

<a class="toggleMenu" href="#">Menu</a>
<ul class="nav">
<li><a href=""><span>Homepage</span></a></li>
<li><a href=""><span>About Us</span></a>
    <ul>
        <li><a href=""><span>Who Are We?</span></a></li>
        <li><a href=""><span>Service Status</span></a></li>
        <li><a href=""><span>Contact Us</span></a></li>
        <li><a href=""><span>Terms & Conditions</span></a></li>
    </ul>
</li>
</ul>

Change:

text-align: center;

to:

text-align: right;

in:

.nav {
    list-style: none;
    *zoom: 1;
    background:#f36f25;
    text-align: right;
}
