left hand hub nuts
so sierra right hand (as per haynes, surely they mean offside) front upright has a left hand thread, which makes sense, as the wheels being driven
forward could only apply torque to the nut the tighten it not vice versa, however it appears the rear hubs are the other way round with the left hand
thread on the n/s...
is there a good reason for this?

On a sierra the front wheels are being pushed forwards but the rear wheels are pushing the car forwards, the forces are opposite. I assume that ford
have got it the right way round but I haven't worked it out for myself.
