I am familiar with a typical truck-arm setup, and this setup essentially constrains the motion of the rear axle in the same way as a truck arm (or ladder bar for that matter). The way they mount to the axle is more reminiscent of a truck-arm to me than a ladder bar.

Anyway, I was just trying to make another analogy for folks to visualize.

The "trail-arms" or whatever you want to call them will control both the forward motion and the rotational motion of the rear axle. They will be in tension/compression and also experience a bending moment.
