Lugnuts are backwards threading?

[Seananigans]

Left side of the car lugnuts are reverse threaded. They loosen/tighten the wrong way, really weird. Lugnuts are left loose, right tight always. wtf is this?

Actually lug nuts aren't always left loose right tight there are several cars/light trucks that have left hand thread on the left side wheels. The theory was that the nuts where less likely to come loose if tightened in the direction of vehicle travel never realy made snse to me tho.

Took the car on the testing patch?
If so it's a bug as it messes all the wheel nuts doing so

I'm sure there are cars that are like this in real life but I have worked on cars for years, mostly european, and I have never seen this on a car before. Every car in the game is like this. It seems more like they just copied one side of the car to the other instead of it being an intentional thing.

Yeah I haven't seen it for a long time cetainly not on what I currently work on (vw audi bmw). But thought I'd throw the info up because I've seen videos and comments all over the net aout it. i do agree with you tho code prob just a cut and paste style situation doesn't bother me personaly but seams to bother alot of others.

Guys, there not even lug nuts, these are wheel bolts, found mostly on europian cars like BMW. I personally know the FD3S RX7 has nuts and wheel studs.

Yeah they are allen head bolts we know. People still call them lugnuts. I've never heard someone go "Hey you gotta take the WHEEL BOLTS out" lol
