1951 Plymouth was left hand thread on right hand side of car and studs had a L on the end that would show at the center of lug nut...... My first car and a friend saved me from twisting off a lug nut.

If memory servers me correct most 60's Chryslers used left handed threads on the right side of the car. Wile Ford and GM used normal right hand threads on both sides of the car. I do not remember a tendency for wheels to fall of any one side of any make of car.

I would think that the "righty tighty" threads (normal) go on the left side of the vehicle. Think of the nut being stationary while the axle (on the drivers side) rotates counter clockwise (looking from outside the car), meaning the nut wants to self tighten (rotate clockwise), which is the desired situation. Of course, there's a 50/50 chance that I'm completely full of "it"!

Hi guys, I thought I would lead off with he first technical question on the new forum. The rear axles are marked S and D, for 'left' and 'right' respectively. But that speaks to the thread direction (one of them is reverse thread, left to tighten) It's my belief that the S or left-tighten axle goes on the left side of the car but I can't remember for sure. Can somebody confirm or deny? Thanks! And welcome back!
