I know lug nuts had left hand threads on the drivers side, but is there anything but lug nuts that are left handed? I forgot what brand it was, but i found tie rod ends with left handed threads. Is that needed?

With tie rods, one end is RH & the other is LH so the adjusting sleeves can be turned in one direction or the other to align the front end geometry.


Ring gear bolts on 8 3/4" differentials are also LH.

Thats what i figured, but is there anything else that need to be left handed? And on dana 60’s are they left handed?

I have no experience with the larger or smaller ring gear differentials.

The driver side axle studs were LH up until the 1971 model year though.

So it is just the wheels and the ring gear that had left hand threads correct?

I’ve seen your build goals. I wouldn’t bother with the left hand threads unless ARP offers them. Because I wouldn’t do all this and not run a quality stud. Also I’ve not seen a rotor come with those in a swap deal. Even the old school 11.75 factory parts swap used right hand threads.

So unless you plan on knocking out nice new right hand studs to install maybe lower grade left hand studs, it seems to be a nonissue.
