A single shear (regular) bar uses a tie rod end that goes through a hole in the bracket.
A double shear replaces the bracket and the TRE and uses a through-bolt on both ends of the bar. This makes a much stronger connection that won't wallow out over time, and it also improves articulation.

In case it wasn't clear (it wasn't to me the first time I heard about this) "double shear" means two points at which sideways forces (shearing) is applied.
