It's a little-known fact that Vernors is the strongest ginger ale available.
The ginger content reacts with the aluminum container and produces an aleyuminimum coating which greatly enhances the tensile strength of the container without increasing its thickness or weight.
If you can find a way to cut patches out of the resulting material (ask me how many pairs of snips I ruined on this project) and attach them to the appropriate place on the control arm, you will be 'all set' as far as strength is concerned with no significant weight added nor ground clearance lost.
Once the RTV cures, these will be available for testing under endurance road racing conditions.

You're welcome.
