Ok,
so I bought Chevy TRE's for my SAS, but I'm a bit confused on the insets for the tubes and the Jam nuts. Do I need Left or Right threads :confused: The tre's are just a normal right hand thread ...right? I understand the purpose of having a oppisite tread. Help me make sence of this... :(

One end of the tie rod will be right hand thread and the other will be left had thread. This allows you to turn the tie rod and it will shorten or lengthen on the truck. This is the adjustment for toe in and out. Clear as mud... :confused:
