Much more simple of a question than the last post. Any one know? Is thaere any heat treating that is involved? /forums/images/graemlins/ears.gif

I think it's just machined steel /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Most are plain mild steel. The differences I've seen are that some are flame cut, and some are machined profile. Some guys do use cold rolled steel...

Mostly the strength comes from it's physical size and thickness, combined with good machining practices.

my WTO steering arms are made from 1" thick cold rolled steel. Definitely stronger than the knuckle, especially when attached with ARPs high-zoot 190,000 psi studs. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I saw one set out there in net-land made from 1" thick Titainium. Probably because he could.
