Bravo Tom, I'm an Mech. Eng. too and I really enjoyed your message. I'll be
printing it out to digest it more fully later.
As for the channel holding the fulcrum pin, if the pin sheared inside the
channel, what would the failure effect be? Could the driver get around with
this sheared until the broken piece of the pin backed out of the channel?
Too bad I recently rebuilt my front suspension. I visually inspected the pins
but no magnafluxing. I didn't like those notches cut into the pins. Now I
wonder.
Again, thanks for sharing your opinion and work.

P.S. I get pissed off at people that sue at the drop of a hat too!
