LCA Bushings and Other Bushings

If the strut rod is adjusted to "whatever" the right length is, I'm not understanding how the LCA can slide on the pin. Since the forces that "might" cause that are on the OUTSIDE of the LCA (the tire) and the bushing on the opposite end, I find it difficult to see it sliding on the pin when it has the strut there to hold it, unless there is something WRONG.

If the forces at work "somehow" destroy the poly bushings because of sliding on the pin, then certainly piles and piles of rubber bushings would also have been destroyed, since they are not as hard, and there is also much less surface area since the rubber bushings are much shorter.

At least, that's how it looks "to me". I don't have a dog in the fight on this other than deciding which parts will work best for ME. I am pretty sure after talking to Peter today what those will be.
