[DeTomaso] Which axles on which side?

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
