Tomas, Please take the following comment as a deep respect for your depth of knowledge as I have never professed to be a learned engineer. Dang man you can make my head hurt. ;) I truly admire the smart folks we have out there.

That being said, I have sometimes wondered about the faith we put in that 1/8" thick bearing retainer plate we secure with four six mm diameter flathead screws. That seems like a weak link.

The axle nut is on there at 450 ft/lb but it is only keeping the axle tight in the inner race of the wheel bearings, rotational freedom being within the bearings and even though you are braking hard the axle is still rotating in a forward direction, plus the axle inner flange/half shaft is splined to the axle shaft and most of us do let of the gas when we brake!

Okay...really dumb question here. Wouldn't hard braking want to loosen the axle nut??

Doug,
Remember the axle nut is on the inside of the wheel in this case, if it were RH then the counter clockwise motion of the axle would want to undo it!

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!
Mike
