Lobro joints on rear wheel drive shaft! Stub axle LH or RH??
 
The Lobro (CV) joints on a cossie have grooves running around there circumference towards one end. When fitting a new set of Lobro joints onto the rear driveshaft, how are these grooves orientated? inner most or outermost on the shaft?

Also, when fitting the stub axles, one has a L/H thread & the other has a R/H thread. Which on goes on which side of the car? Would like to know as we don't have a diff to check the different lengths against.

Info required for a friend!
Help much appreciated.

can't help with the first part of your question, but can with the second.

i distinctly remember breaking the head off a welly bar when trying to undo the nut on the passenger side of a UK RHD car, not knowing that i was fighting with a L/H thread with my scaff pole :oops:

lesson learnt the hard way, always the best and only way that i learn :top:
