Single tads vs. double tads where the control arms mount to the frame. Go out and look at one of your campers and take a look at the shocks. If the bolt that hold the shock to the frame just bolts to it… A bolt goes through the shock bushing and screws to the frame. That is one example of a single sheer mount. If the shock mounting point bushing goes between two tabs or goes between anything where the bushing is controlled/clamped between two fixed objects, that is an example of a double sheer mount.

Here is a very simple example. Hold the end of a pencil with one hand and have a friend try and knock the pencil out of your hand. It will probably be pretty easy for that person to knock the pencil out of your hand. That is single shear.

Now hold the pencil with two hands, one on each end. That is double shear. Chances are the other person will not be able to knock the pencil out of your hands.

So imagaine that suspension tabs are your hands and the bolt that the suspension pivots on is the pencil. Double shear will be much stronger.

I like that

shear: an action or stress resulting from applied forces that causes or tends to cause two contiguous parts of a body to slide relatively to each other in a direction parallel to their plane of contact.

sheer: marked by great and unrelieved steepness (like a sheer cliff), in complete manner, pure or unadulterated (like sheer force)

I think we're talking about "SHEAR"

Just think Shawn, now you can sell WW trailers even easier by pointing out all of the double shear mounts that the trailer has. Of course, 80% of the buyers will have no clue what you mean, but if it sounds important they will go for it.

Well here's a little more info for you.

"Every outdoorsman needs a trusted sidekick like a pair of Case Multi-Purpose Shears. Together, there will be virtually no job you two can't handle. Each one features a cap lifter, pry jar opener, light hammer and includes a genuine leather sheath."
