Ok I am probably going to get flamed for this but here goes nothing.

I have a bent toe control arm (number 4 in diagram below), I have searched and I know they are weak stamped steel. I also know there are tubular replacements ranging from $125 to $200 depending on what type of bushings you get. But being a college student and not really having $125-$200 to spend right now I was wondering if a steel plate could be welded on one or both sides to stiffen up the toe control arms. It will cost very little as I have all the tools to do this. This way they will be stronger and hopefully not bend until i get out of school and can afford to get the nice tubular toe control arms.

Ideas and suggestions?

Thanks Tim
