Question Question: Powder coating suspension parts??

I have read that powder coating certain aluminum parts such as 6061, i believe, will make it weak and unreliable, due to the extreme temperatures that is endured in the powder coating processing. My question is, what is the suspension pieces made out of, mainly all of the aluminum type pieces underneath the car, and would it be ok to powder coat these without making the pieces weak? Any information would be great!!!

Thanks, Matt

Some are forged, others are squeeze cast. They are all aluminum. But I don't know what kind.
