[DeTomaso] Which axles on which side?

[bill gaino]

Law of physics. Items in motion tend to stay in motion. Mas that is still, wants to stay still. Under hard acceleration, the axle nut has mass, this mass want to stay still. As the axle accelerates it keeps the nut tight. One would think that the locking washer tabs would hold the nut, but you may be suprized.  Left hand threads on left side!   I live physics...

>> 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!
