The point of the aftermarket plates is to box the control arm. A few ties does not accomplish that. The more surface area that the boxing plate has the better the control arm will resist twisting.

A few ties are better than nothing, and they’ll help keep then sides of the LCA from spreading apart. But they’re won’t be as effective at boxing the LCA which means you won’t get the same torsional strength.
