I just mean I'm sure its a mild steel tube. To me milds milds. Yes cold rolled is a little stronger than hot rolled, but for this part here, that U shape will be more than fine in either mild.

Now if talking SS or heat treated armour plated mild, then yes, huge difference.

Yup just givin ya a hard time because i saw your awesome build skills on your thread . What would your personal recommendation be for the less tech savvy less diy person who at most would be street driving about 98% of the time (clearly id spring for spl if i tracked) : kinetix or spc front camber arms?

Neither. Ams. Both it and the kinetix use mild steel and poly bushings. If you aren't going to replace the bushings and tie rod end, then why pay double for kinetix?

You guys talk about the tie rod end. It has nothing to do with it. It's the upper ball-joint.

Technically its a tie rod end. A ball joint is a ball in a joint. These have a half ball with a rod seated in that's secured with a bolt on top. But I think you knew that and were being funny.

Tie rod



Ball joint
