Are you saying it's too wavy to contain a steering arm? I don't think so. You can definitely trace a straight line through the middle.

ya exactly... the upper wishbone is just too wavy.. u might be right as it can have a trace of a straight line, but it's just hard to imagine

for me it's just the same, it doesn't matter the shape

What is the advantage of having the upper A-arm shaped like that? Is it for better aerodynamics or for the actual suspension?

If I was to have a guess it would be to reduce load on the upper wishbone, by reducing the angle between it and the hub, while also improving suspension geometry.
