Does anyone know what these are made of? MM Control Arms

I helped Helty install these yesterday afternoon and they work reealllyy well. I know the Steeda set that are equivalent to these are aluminum, but what are the MM ones made of? Aluminum? Something Stronger? Something Weaker?

I've looked for it but can't find it

I believe they're steel (I don't remember them being light enough to be aluminum when I installed mine).

So i've heard

I just didn't know if they were the same material or have the same results. If they did, I was gonna go with Steeda.. but if the MM work better, then I don't mind to pay a few extra bucks and get the better half

What kind of "traction," straight line or in a turn?

Steel. They weigh like 2 pounds more than the steeda alum's.. Steel is much better because if you hit a good sized pot hole metal will bend as opposed to aluminum snapping.
