It's definitely not a stretch to call them that. Every manufacturer uses a different and almost random name for the different links in a multilink suspension. There is no consensus except for people who only know about one brand of cars and think that we should call them exactly what the repair manual calls them. There are only two control arms on the front suspension and they're on the bottom...
