Hey, I'm about to tackle control arm ball joint replacement. I'm using Haynes for reference and they mention that the Octavia Mk2 comes with either cast or sheet steel control arms, and the tightening torque varies on which it is:

How do I figure out which mine is? If that helps narrow it down it's a 2006 pre-facelift Mk2, 2.0 TDI BKD, DSG transmission.

Search for pictures of the part and compare with what you have.

I would say they're sheet steel. Not aluminium as standard fitment, don't think they're cast either.

Update - it's cast iron, there are markings on the top of the control arms: GJS-400-15
