Suspension arms - Build material

I looking to change my lower and upper suspension arms on my D4.

I was look on autodoc.co.uk and found several manufactures of suspension arms but noticed some build material are Cast Iron, Steel Metal and Sheet Metal.

I waned to know what LR OE suspensions are made off, I think its Cast Iron.

Can someone led some light on this please.

I could be completely wrong, but I don't think they're cast. I think they're sheet.
