Thread direction

[old-git]

Right, as no one is reading my build thread I will ask the question here

Just need confirmation from you guys.

When fitting handed driveshafts, standard thread on left hand side and left hand thread on right hand side of car?

 

[Yugguy]

It should turn the opposite to the rotation of the axle for that side so it tightens rather than loosens.

I think.

 

[old-git]

That was my thinking also.

 

[obi_waynne]

Agreed!

 

[claymore]

yep, off side shaft would be left hand thread.

 

[Yugguy]

This is a thread about thread.

This makes me smile.

 

[old-git]

I must admit it is a little nutty.

Not to put too fine a point on it, of course, some may think that I have screw or two loose, but I like to pitch in occasionally with a question in such a way that we can root out the answer easily without having to approach the question from various angles or head off in different directions.

This is a thread about thread.

This makes me smile.

The beauty of the English language...


Could be worse.

For example:

This is a thread about Fred asking about threads.

 

[obi_waynne]

I think it's time for a change of direction for this thread about thread direction? What say you all?

 

[old-git]

I think it may have hit the crest and runout of steam.

 

[obi_waynne]

A joke like that just killed it dead!

 

[Yugguy]

You've really thrown a spanner in the works. That was a bolt from the blue.

Just tighten up your ideas.

 

[T9 man]

What the Dickens is going on here?

I think your all crazy!

You all definitely need a check up from the neck up :blink:.......

 

[obi_waynne]

Were nut's or perhaps we have a screw loose!
