Control arm attachment

Post

What is the design of the lower control arm attachment (close to the bottom edge of the photo)? Looks like there is a yoke on the end of the control arm. I would not think it was single shear.

Looks like cantilever beam in double shear. Clevis style a-arm end.

Yep, looks it to me.
