As for road impacts, aren't those softened quite a bit by the fact that there is a pneumatic tire on the other end? Compare that to a hammer imparting sharp impact on the pitman or idler arm. But if it is common for shops to use the pickle fork with an air hammer then I should be OK.
The tires will soften the blow a little. But remember when you hit something driving, you also have an extra 4000 lbs of force.
