Left-handed threads are common on many wheel applications, where the normal tougue would tend to loosen a right-hand thread. Examples are the pedals on a bicycle. one side is left-handed. As I have not changed a tire myself in many years, I do not know about modern cars, But in my day, auto wheel studs were left-handed on one side. If you didn't know that, you could work for days trying to change a wheel.
Chrysler was the last to abandon the LH thread on one side, RH on the other side. Sometime in the 1970's.
But it did mess up lots of folks trying to work on the cars.
