The original 289 control arms have solid inner bushings that put their mounting bolt in single shear. When you change spherical or heim jointed control arm bushings for adjustment that moves the pivot points away from the single shear to a cantilever, all that on a sheet metal mount. By adding the plates we have now put the mounting bolts in double shear which is a huge improvement in strength and safety. I've ridden in this quick little beast and it sure needs it.
