Torque arm mount question...

I am fabricating a crossmember for a tko 600 and was wondering if I need the bushing for the T-arm or if I should just bolt it to a bracket.

Is that mount just to dampen vibrations or more?

the torque arm need to be able to move front and back slightly. It cannot be mounted rigidly or it will break things.

The bushing is for vibration and noise reduction, its not a bad idea to keep some kind of bushing.
