the arms and bushes are bolted between the axle brackets so the arms flex inside the brackets
the axle brackets are welded direct to the axle so they move all as one
this guard sits in between the brackets so moves as one with the axle
which means the radius arms flex as they are inside the axle brackets and not connected to the guard, the movement in the suspension is just the rubber bushes flexing

Think of one arm going up, and the other arm going down... now think about bolting something in between them, and again imagine their movement under articulation... one up, one down...
