[DeTomaso] Which axles on which side?

Thanks for that Doug. Your explanation makes perfect sense!

 Not dumb, but perceptive.
 The theory must be that there's a lot more accelerating
 (or forward momentum) going on than braking!

 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
