1973 brought in a bunch of steering and suspension changes for Mopars… not all of them were good.
I read awhile back about the transverse torsion bar design for the FMJ body cars. The only advantage those offered for production was the room to place pre-catalytic converters right off of the manifolds, something impossible with a standard torsion bar setup. It also resulted in a weight increase and a shift of that weight forward. Not good for handling at all.
