Torque arm ? On the adjustable torque arms why is there 2 bushings on the front mount. It looks like rear leaf spring mount for the 2 poly bushings. Does this allow the TA to move forward and backward? Why not just a single mounting point with a rod end?

I'm not quite following you...there are two rod ends towards the rear of the arm so that the mount itself can rotate the rear end about its long axis. If you only had one rod end and the other was fixed, you wouldn't be able to adjust it at all without bending the arm itself.
You only adjust one of the ends though (the bottom one usually).
