I think you are right John. Someone gave me a Renault 4 37 years ago (he was being posted to Germany and had bought a new car, and just tossed me the keys knowing I’d was broke having just bought my first house). Actually is wasn’t that bad a car and was much better than a pushbike (the alternative- I’d sold my MG for the house deposit).
I remember the rear torsion bars ran the whole width of the car, so they had to be staggered, one in front of the other. I think the wheelbase was the same both sides, but one of the swinging arms was a few inches shorter than the other).
It didn’t seem to affect the handling - it rolled around all over the place anyway,
