As @915_Tahoe said, straight swap. I would run with it as per @915_Tahoe said.

The arm should look just like the aluminum ones and bolt right in and make sure the alignment is done and post the before and after readings after you do.

The ball joints in the aluminum arms are garbage and very often fail in the 80k-100k range. The ball joints in the stamped steel arms are failing much less.
