Can any one by looking at the lower control arms tell if I have the steel or aluminum one please. I want to replace everything thing

Looks like they’re steel but if you’re not sure use a magnet. It won’t stick to aluminum. If the magnet sticks they’re steel.

can you switch to aluminum if you originally have steel, or does that affect everything else that was set up from factory? Would be nice to drop some lbs of un-sprung weight...

You can if you can find them but It doesn't save as much weight as you would hope.

@randeez swapped his over, on his race truck, along with the aluminum spindles from a '14+ Silvy and it shaved 46 lbs total or 23 lbs per side.

Just aluminum control arms VS steel control arms saves 24 lbs total or 12 lbs per side.

Yup. It's like clipping a rhinoceros's toenails to help it maneuver better. Ain't gonna make much difference. A friend of mine switched to aluminum control arms and felt no noticeable difference in handling or ride.

You might pick up 0.0003 MPG... lol

With race cars unsprung weight is important and shaving almost 50 lbs off is great, but for daily driving the juice probably isn't worth the squeeze.
