If memory servers me correct most 60's Chryslers used left handed threads on
the right side of the car. Wile Ford and GM used normal right hand threads
on both sides of the car. I do not remember a tendency for wheels to fall of
any one side of any make of car.

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"!

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
