Another Mopar Trivia question

[Iron Woode]

This one is very simple.

Prior to 1973, Mopars were known for one very peculiar engineering design that annoyed many mechanics.

What was it?

No. Come on guys. I guess you never worked on a old (pre 1973) Mopar.

Correct

Otherwise you would know precisely what I am talking about.

It is a good way to fool a new or training mechanic.

**ding ding**

that's it. Left hand thread (drivers side) annoyed many mechanics. Chrysler thought that they would stay tight because of the car's forward motion.

The feeling of pride in knowing you were correct.

Left hand threads annoyed my mechanic back in the day. My friend in HS was taking mechanics and forgot about it. He broke 2 lugs off before he realised what was wrong. He was working on a 1970 satellite.
