Could a Dana 70 Dually have Left handed threaded wheel studs on the left side? This Dana 70 (#40235) is out of a Doner 83 E350. Also, anyone know where I can get more info on the axle using the ID Number?

Thanks

 

Unless your truck is from Mars, the wheel studs should be right handed.

 

a friend of mine has an 86 srw d70 and the drivers side lugs are left hand thread. if you need nuts or lugs our local auto zone had a couple studs and all 8 nuts

Yes! Quite likely.

If you rub down the end of the stud to remove the road grime you should see a "L". If you have them, make sure you put a drop of oil on the two piece nut (where the nut and washer join) before you put it back on and torque it down (usually min. 150+ pounds).

 

Dana axles of this era(and older) do indeed have left hand thread studs on the drivers side.
Heck, my 00 F250 has a left hand thread spindle on the drivers side rear...

 

Well, you learn something everyday...

 

Thanks Guys.... The threads look left handed to me.....and considering I couldn't budge them with my impact wrench turning them " Lefty loosey"...
But with these bifocals I thought Id ask!

 

The lug bolt studs ARE left handed on the drivers side of my 83 dana 70. Could the left side rear axle hub bolts also be left handed? Can't seem to get any loose. Been usin PB Blaster and my impact wrench.

 

no theyre all right hand thread just get a breaker bar and a cheatter pipe and give them hell
