you can work it out by looking at the thread, put a nut on it. Then imagine the wheel turning, it wants to tighten the nut, not undo it.

i have just swapped the diff and drive shafts..

i am using a gts dedion.

i have the lh on the nearside, which has movement left to right but the os has no play..

the wheel also seams tight to turn.

are there different length driveshafts as these are a different diameter.

i think cossy shafts might be longer by a few mms, but could be wrong.

i have now swapped the driveshafts over so the lh is on the o/s easier to fit but still no play in shaft...

thinking of getting a 10mm spacer made up for between back plate and hub face.. is there any reason i cant do this..

cheers
