Since it is a metal-on-metal connection (it is with the stock shock, if
the Frontline arm uses bushings, it may as well turn there), you don't
want it to turn, otherwise you would develop wear and play fairly rapidly.
As long as the fulcrum turns easier in the trunnion bushings than in the
arm, you would be ok. Stock "rubber" bushings would probably exert
considerable force on the fulcrum, while well-greased PU bushings might
offer less resistance - hard to say.
I think a larger set screw would be a good idea.
