Control Arm contruction

What would be the best material to build control arms? tube or solid stock? also what about the 4 links? i was thinking i could use solid stock for those and drill and tap for the ends but the control arms would be tube so i could weld the ball joint housing on

Thanks

Brendan

What kind of chassis is this..??

use tube for 4 links there are weld in pieces to fit the rod ends available or you can use the steel swedged rods from speedway..
