It sounds like the problem could be any number of things and possibly complicated by previous modifications. With the car suspension stripped and sitting on a hoist i need a solution in the fastest time possible so I've ordered a set of small balljoints from PST, a set of large Moog balljoints...
Have just pulled out old upper ball joints on a 73 Duster 340. Ready to install a new PST upper ball joint (large size for MY73) And it will not fit. Seems to be about 1mm larger in diameter than the old one. In the picture the old one is on the left and new one is on the right. The diameter...

Agreed. It is a bolt on but there aren't many B-Body rear ends lying around here in Australia and shipping ones not an option due to the cost. I don't know what width the Australian made Chryslers ran or if that's even an option. Someone on the forum might know that.
All good ideas but a complete rear swap is not really an option for me and i want to keep the car all original apart from bolt on stuff i can undo simply if i sell in the future. What would be the degree of wheel backspace that would balance the look out? And would different offsets and wheel...
I have a 73 Duster and the rear axle assembly is more narrow than the front resulting in an awkward stance. Is it a reasonable suggestion to use 2 inch spacer blocks on the rear to bring the rear more into line with the front.? This is purely a cosmetic mod as this car is taken out for rare...
