Working on my new-to-me 72 240z today.  Successfully replaced the right side steering rack accordian boot today.  Started on the left side boot.  The jam nut refuses to back off, threatening to round off the nut points. 

On the right side, the jam nut has a right hand thread.  On the left side, is the jam nut rotation direction reversed, as in a left hand thread?  

Thanks!

Yes, you are correct,  the driver side outer tie rod (left) is left hand thread.

Yep. I use "right is right, left is wrong" to remember.

Thank you, that worked MUCH better.
