Arm itself is made by sheet metal, forged steel, aluminium alloy or cast iron etc in order to resist multiple bouncing forces as vehicle drives, brakes and receives lateral forces etc.
Ball joint mounts in various ways like bolt, rivet or press-fit type. Integral type(arm + ball joint) also exists.
Ball joint consists of housing which mounts on control arm and ball stud which fits on wheel. Resin compound sheet is inserted between ball stud and housing. Plug or cap is utilized and housing is caulked to seal the internal grease. The other end has a dust cover filled with grease to cope with infiltrating mud and water.

By internal ball seat material ball joint is divided into metal type and resing compound type. Metal type takes grease nipple for continuous greaseup. Grease nipple is not necessary for resin compound type, as special grease is sealed in at manufacturing site.
