I don't think it matters, and if there is a strenght difference, it is MINIMAL. 4130 is the chromoly steel used in bike frames, so it is more common than 4140. The panhard doesn't come under the kind of stress that will rip or tear the metal itself, it's at the welds that it would break. And therefore it doesn't matter between the two.

Which coolant dissapates heat faster, Prestone or Peak? Who gives a rats ****?
