In any case, definitely not cast iron....but I assume you knew that and just typoed.
Sorry haha, not a typo but maybe a brain fart. Regardless, the '06 has the nice aluminium ones, all other years have the ugly STAMPED STEEL lower control arms which are a real PITA to work with. There are few pitman arm pullers that fit over them when you want to pop the ball joint out for a quick fix. I've been in rusted ball-joint hell with my outback for a while and literally had to saw through the left ball joint that was rusted and sized into the arm and into the knuckle. If it had the nice aluminium ones, a pitman arm puller would have popped it out no problem.
For that alone, it's worth it if you ask me lol.
