Question 2001 S 600 front lower control arms alum or steel?

I am getting different or no answers on the front lower control arms. The mounting bushings are cracked badly and are dying from old age I guess. (2001-2019 =18 yrs. I asked Dealer Parts and inconclusive unless they order one . Are the lower control arms made of aluminum alloy or steel? The original ones are all aluminum alloy. Replacement ones on various web sites show both steel (black) and aluminum alloy unpainted.

What is correct. The vehicle does have ABC and is a CARLSSON version.
Also what length windshield wiper blades--both 29" or driver 29", pass 27"?

Thanks for assistance.

Why does it matter? They do the job.

For the record the track control arms are steel, and the trailing arms and upper wishbones are alloy. All of them.

People that retail car parts are generally not well informed.
