Question: What are the VMAR functional oleo struts made from?

Answer: VMAR functional oleo struts are made primarily from Chromoly 4041 steel alloy. Chromoly is an abbreviation for "chromium-molybdenum steel". Chromoly offers high tensile strength, good malleability, easier welding and better durability than standard 1020 steel tubing.

The outer components are painted. The inner "oleo" that moves up and down is not painted.and appears naturally as a darkish "GunMetal" color.
