I'm trying to realign the steering wheel after rebuilding the front with new knuckles, etc. Tierods were not replaced. Can anyone tell me whether both sides have a right-hand thread, or do they have different (left-hand) on one side? I'll be checking them tonight, and be able to tell you all if you don't already know.;)
 






Drag link and tierod threading

Figured it out today, and got my steering wheel very close to center. Both tierods are right hand thread, and both sides of the draglink are left hand thread. Makes it pretty simple to adjust them. RH send roll forward to pull the knuckle in, LH pull forward to push the knuckle out. Makes it easy to replace them all, too, no need to remember which tierod goes to which side.
