Default Control Arms...what are they made of???
Are our front and rear control arms aluminum or magnesium??? I sandblasted on of my front control arms today as i am about to dissasemble everything and replace bushings and shocks. But after i was done sandblasting my friend said if they are magnesium id have to have them coated with somthing. Any idea???

Your spelling is correct, but in Canada and the US, aluminium is pronounced "aluminum" therein lies the difference.
