I noticed both left and right arms have a different colored screw that's black and silver for the shocks, I checked the manual but it didn't mention anything regarding it, is the left side with the silver screw " left hand thread" and the right side black screw "normal thread" because my MCD RR5 has the same different colored bolts for the arms and i snapped both the left silver bolts because there left hand thread and i thought they were "normal right thread"

No clue why that would require a LH thread screw there if that is the case.
There is no adjustment like in a turnbuckle and no rotation of the shock mount ( plus it most likely has a ball in the end as well).

So what's the question? The 5ive t and 5ive b are the same way.

MCD racing thought it was a great idea to put a left handed thread there...if you buy a used MCD and don't check the manual and attempt to remove like a normal screw "anti-clock wise" they're cheap casting bolts will break at the thread in the arm.

both DBXL and MCD RR5 have reverse thread on the left suspension arms front & rear and when i bought used the MCD RR5 i assumed the previous owner replaced the left suspension arm bolts with silver ones because they were different and i didn't know they were reversed thread and when removing them they both broke at the thread i then later learn there reverse thread i was so pissed i thought they were normal thread but anyway i got a spare set of new arms included with the deal.
