Again, I have no idea what I am talking about. Google knows everything though lol.
The knuckles aren't really shaped like a radiator, and aluminum is a good conductor.
I can imagine that if you park a car with rotors too hot some of that heat will be conducted into the ball joints and also into the damper; neither of which like excess heat.
