Answer 1

Most lug nuts and studs are right-hand threaded, which means they tighten when turned clockwise. However, there are some left-handed threaded lug nuts and studs that tighten when turned counterclockwise.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most lug nuts and studs are right-hand threaded, which means they tighten when turned clockwise. However, there are some lug nuts and studs that are left-handed threaded, which means they tighten when turned counterclockwise.

In terms of torque, when you turn a bolt or nut with a wrench, clockwise rotation applies a positive torque while counterclockwise rotation applies a negative torque. The direction of the torque depends on the chosen pivot point and the direction of rotation.

It's important to note that for lug nuts and studs, the standard practice is for them to be right-hand threaded, but it's always a good idea to consult the specific instructions or owner's manual for a particular vehicle.

We have different types of lug nuts and wheel studs. The differences is based on the threading that it found on both the lug nut and wheel studs.

We have:

a) The right handed threaded lug nuts and studs(wheel studs)

b) The left handed threaded lug nuts and studs(wheel studs).

The right handed threaded lug nuts and studs are tightened when they are turned in the clockwise direction while left handed threaded lug nuts and studs are tightened in the anticlockwise or counterclockwise direction.

It is important to note that no matter the kind of lug nuts and studs(whether right handed threaded or left handed threaded) used to fastened wheels to car rims, it is essential that they are well fastened and torqued to car to prevent them from loosening up.
