The Aft cross tube on the 412 has a support beam fitted not fitted to the 205 and 212, to give a single point attachment to the airframe to counter ground resonance if the elastomeric dampers sticks (fails) in the leading or laging mode. Thats what gives the 412 its rock from side to side when you move around on top the aircraft as the cross tube rolls within the support beam.
