Title: Rockwell wheel stud question
Post by: Bowtie972 on August 10, 2011, 05:02:35 PM

The 2.5 ton rockwells I bought had the front hubs removed when I got them. One hub does have Left hand thread studs and one has right hand thread studs. I was wondering if anyone knows which side the left hand thread went on originally? Driver or Passenger side? Thanks

Generally L handed threads go on the L (drivers) side..
has to do with centrifical force and rotation, they are constantly tightening.
