[DeTomaso] FW: Which axles on which side?

[Douglas Kelm]

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.  ??

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
