Asa (and all you others), you are absolutely correct. Thanks for clueing me in. I had misunderstood how the axle was assembled.

The axle nut is on the inside of the upright. The axle is actually facing inboard not to the outside. I think you might be thinking the axle nut is on the outside....like the spinner on a GT-40. ??

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!
