Default 1600i and S1 tension arm thread info needed

Can i double check what people have?

My 1600i arb arms have left hand thread for the rose joint ends for n/s and o/s is this right? or has one been replaced with another left hand thread one? I.e should one side be right hand and the other lefthand?


Also what's should the threads be for the tca ends(left hand or right)?

Many thanks

Thanks for replying ruby123 that's what I've been told by an mk3 guru yesterday and that what I have on the 1600i arb setup

So just to clarify my understanding

1600i rose joint n/s and o/s are left hand thread
S1 tie rod ends n/s and o/s are right hand thread

1600i and S1 arb ends at the tca are right hand thread

Mk3/Mk4 standard arb ends at the tca n/s is right hand and o/s is left hand
