Yes there is quite a reasonable lateral pressure. The seal surface (pin collars) is grooved and the compressed seal is forced into the grooves under compression. The seal twists in itself as the suspension arm rotates, effectively no movement at the mating points. So, no, not a conventional seal. Find someone with a water cutter.
