And that’s where an engineer comes in with alternatives like push rod suspension, changing the design to be better suited to the loads being carried, changes to the type of shock mounting, changes to the mounting location on the arm (looks like the welds are in tension over bumps which isn’t a great choice.
Definitely a raft of available improvements if engineered correctly. And engineering is very different to fabrication in this sense.
