Excuse my butting in please,
You would kind of think that it would make sense to 'swap' sides so
as to utilise the fresh, un-worn surfaces, but I suspect there is
some metallurgical grounds for not reversing the direction of the
torsion applied to the shaft, even though we do this periodically
when we use reverse gear.
