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

Subject: [DeTomaso] Which axles on which
side?
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

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"!
