There are a lot of applications like that that make left hand threads essential. That's just silly.... unless we are talking knockoffs. There is nothing intrinsically thread locking about left hand threads, unless they are coincident with the axis of rotation.... and lug nutS aren't. If the only forces to worry about were axial, then theoretically, lugs would only need to be tight enough to hold the wheel to the hub, like finger tight. |
