They may have gone away on cars for 71 but the lugs
on my 76 Pace Arrow 28 foot motor home (dodge chassis) had LH lugs.
Ask me how I know (it was not a pretty site)
LOL

LH lug nuts went away with the 71 models.
If the 73 Charger had LH lugs, I don't think it was built with them.
Maybe someone "backdated"?

Hello,
Thanks for the FYI guys. I know my 73 Charger
has them on the driver's (or left) side. I took it in for an alignment
at a local shop and when I got it back it had 2 lugs on the front broken
off. The guy tried to tell me they were frozen and that he was a
"mopar" guy and knew about the nuts. Good trick considering I had just
replaced the ball joints and all the front suspension rubber pieces
myself. People like that I tell to go work on a Honda, and leave my
blessed Mopars alone. It was my fault though, I should have checked
them out better. Live and learn. As for the other parts, let me
know when I can get a kenueter
valve.
R-R-R,

Well first of all, I believe the driver's
side is LH thread, not the passenger as the article indicates. Also, anybody
who calls themself a mechanic should be full aware that things go both ways
like that.
On another note, anyone know where I can
get a lower radiator hose for my Corvair? Or maybe some muffler
bearings?

has a
nicely written article regarding Chrysler's left hand threaded lug nuts and
explaining why the practice was dropped and where it came back
too!
Good reading.
