Rebuilding the back end of my car and fitted new wheel bearings into the hubs, I was wanting to know what is the correct side of the car the nut with the reverse thread goes?

from thinking about it in my head there’s pros and cons to each side and from the research I’ve done looking at old threads on here, there’s conflicting info coming from reputable people, some say passenger side for LH thread some say drivers side.

Anyone know a definite answer?

thanks

Generally a left hand nut will have a notch on the side

The left side (UK passenger side) has LH thread on the rear.
