That pin is called a shear pin. It centers the axle into the perch, and will shear off to allow some energy to be absorbed in the event of a strong impact. Which apparently in the case of ferd is the wheel coming into contact with asphalt. ha!ha!ha!
Oh! and the pin is also called a shear pin on a Dodge. [had to keep this Dodge related you know! = )]
