The Difference Between Right and Left |
---|
When replacing front brake rotors/wire wheel adaptors on cars with wire wheels be especially careful not to confuse the right and left side splined hubs. They are identical in appearance except for the knock-off thread rotation. A hurried job may well result in the wheel coming loose and propelling itself in advance of your car. Even at low speeds, the fender damage from a loose wheel is astounding - at high speeds the resultant damage could be fatal. Surprisingly most manuals don't include this caution! |
