Let's be clear, the method and material are 2 different things, and I'm sick of seeing people mix them up and refer to one as the other.
Cast, moulded, forged, formed, machined.....PROCESS
Steel, iron, aluminum grey iron, nodular iron, white iron, chrome moly, 300m, etc......MATERIALS.
Hmmmmm..... wonder where this info comes from?
Carrier construction: malleable iron (fine grain cast iron)
Ring and Pinion construction: 8620 heat treated
Differential housing construction: Nodular iron
Axle tubes construction: mild steel
Inner knuckles (aka tube forks, end forgings, or "Cs") - forged, premium low-carbon mild steel
Outer knuckle construction: malleable iron
