What do you mean by brackets? Mine has extra bits on it, not sure if you would call them brackets, but I've never seen them on any other vehicle :?

Yeah, mine are not so much "brackets" as they are weights of some sort, so may well be vibration dampners

Strengthening? my 01 doesn't have any and they bend quite easy.. Superior engineering arms have some sort of strengthening on them.

vibration dampers of some kind.

All the 6cyl GU's seem to have them (except the utes).
