    Which is stronger round tube or square tube contol arms? Does it make any difference?

    Thanks

    the round ones have more torsional (twist) strength but not much more than rectangular. EDIT: in compression they will be about the same.

    and actually they're not much stronger than boxed factory arms. unless your making some seriously crazy horsepower and at that point you'd be going to an adjustable 4 link anyway.
