Steve-o,

The threads are reversed so that the centrifugal force of the rotation doesn't loosen the wing.

What about Factory Five front pin drive width tubular lower control arms and coil overs? They're a direct Fox replacement and tuck the wheels in.

True, threads are reversed but usually its the passenger side that is reversed, tighten counterclockwise ( towards rear ), loosen clockwise ( towards front ).
My SPF as well as any other person I've talked to are like this. Wondering if your wheel spindles are on the wrong sides of the car?
