So you are just planning on large fine thread bolts in place of the studs that go through the engine compartment wall?

It is a procedure very similar to replacing wheel studs.

How strong are they? Any testing or modeling?
The manufacturer that I have making them for us has been making suspension components for racing cars for 30 years. These bearings and this manufacturing system has been in use for many many years. Only the dimensions are unique to fit the 928. The bearing (ball joint) is an Aurora Bearing COM 12 unit.
No need to re-invent the wheel I figured. You go with what has been working well for a long time.

Carl,
I remember reading about an upcoming upgrade to the ball-joint used in these arms in a suspension thread over the summer - any details on the modifications? Will the joint include a boot?
Thanks,
Hans
