It looks like a Dodge or Chrysler Torsion bar front end. Hard to tell which model, the common was the Plymouth volare or Dodge Aspen. 1974 to 77. Seen the Cordoba also

If I understand you correctly on the one shown here they are side to side. The last picture in this post shows the end attached to the lower a-arm right below the shock absorber, it has a "C" notch in the round end that butts the stop plate.
