IML: Changing the Left to Right

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

Wouldn't this lead to a safety concern? I am thinking that if they should have all gone the same way, then the company wouldn't have gone through the trouble to build it this way in the first place. Since they are clearly identified, why is this a problem? Also, to me, fixing one stud would be more economical than replacing all ten.

CHARLES, I HAVE FOUND THAT THE BEST THING TO DO IS CONVERT THE LEFT THREADS TO RIGHT HAND ONES. GO BUY 10  RIGHT STUDS,(FRONT AND BACK MAY BE DIFFERENT).  KNOCK OUT THE LEFT ONES AND PUT IN THE RIGHT HAND THREAD ONES. DO THIS ON BOTH THE LEFT WHEELS AND YOU WILL HAVE THE SAME LUG NUTS ALL THE WAY AROUND..

 

THANKS SMITTY
