When the spring plates get old the rear of the car effectively steers on its own. It's subtle on the street...but you'll know when things start feeling loose back there...you only have three points of attachment to the car, and they all need to be tight...

The bushing that wears out is not in the pictures, it is on the other end of the springplate. What you se in the pics are the adjustment nuts for camber and toe.
