    A quick question: spindles

    There are right and left hand threaded wheel spindles. Which ones go on the driver side and which ones go on the passenger side?

    Thank

    Can you explain more what you mean? Spindle nuts are both RH threaded. The Factory Five 2-piece spindles have left and right marked steering arms. The spinners used on Factory Five Halibrand style wheels do have left and right threads. Any of these?

    Are you referring to the wheel spinner nuts/hubs? If so, the right hand thread goes on the left side and the left hand thread goes on the right side. You want it so when the wheel turns forward, its tightening the spinner nut.
