You've gotta put them through some serious abuse to get them to bend... like jumping and landing a 3 foot hilled railroad track at 70 mph. Even then you'll be more likely to blow the tires.

Control arms are located near the rear of the exhaust right? What do they actually do? I think I've seen two different versions...one was one piece or you can get the 3 piece one...I just always thought they were for show.
