Re: [Chrysler300] One good turn deserves another!!

I wonder how many lug studs have been twisted off(your local tire installer and his 400 foot pound air wrench) and or stripped because of the creative thinkers at Chrysler. Seems that this may have caused more wheels to fall off then whatever were saved from falling off as a reward for this flash of brilliance.

However progress is often made by learning what does not work verses what has. Witness the cars from Chrysler(and everyone else) of the mid 70's until the mid 90's(K cars, Volares, etc.).

Dan et al;
I too remember the tale about the nuts not falling off as easily if left 
threaded on the left wheel, BUT, (stay with me here!)...... the laws of 
physics state that a body in motion tends to stay in motion and a body at 
rest tends to stay at rest.
So, if you think about it, it makes sense that a right handed (clockwise) 
thread, when the wheel turns counter-clockwise would prefer to stay put and 
keep itself tight (counter to the wheel rotation). They shoud have put left 
threads on the right side!!
Unless there is a "gyroscopic" influence here, it doesn't compute.
Maybe it was a "Board Room" decision that the engineers wanted to see if 
anyone was awake up there!
Maybe we should ask "Lefty"!!!
Couldn't resist contributing 2 cents,
