Could this weaken the front end?

[3.4 slow to go]

Notching the lower A-arm nub that sticks out in the engine bay?

here's the delima:

Shot 1

Shot 2

These are the tubular eahaust manifolds off of a 2000 F-body 3800 car. It rests on the support, but I'm also thinking about the exhaust pipe, cornering, and just the normal engine vibration from idling/running.

Thanks in advance.
