thanks for confirming my thoughts exactly. i didn't want to increase the diameter of the hole, but i see no problem in drilling straight through.

I dont think that these bolts recieve much stress. The bulk of vertical force is applied directly to the control arm by the shock mount... and there is no lateral force applied to the bolts.
seems likely to me -- the pivot looks like it takes the bulk of the force...

thanks everyone for the input!
