Hello all!

I have a C4 picasso 2013 airdream mk2, needs a possible new lower arm, what's with the options of steel or alloy arms ?

Hi Les and welcome,
I am guessing that the difference is weight, so assuming both are up to the job then the alloys will be lighter. However in order to maintain balance in both weight and performance I would advise swapping lower arms in pairs of whichever type you choose to ensure you don't end up with an uneven ride. :)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

I think I have only seen steel front suspension arms, what does your car have now ?
If you are just looking at what is available it might be different versions of your car have different arms so you would need to be careful to get the right one. Looking on the GSF site there are different looking versions for the same car year.
