Any standard shoulder bolt the right size will do for balljoint also. As other 
have said a higher tensile can be a nice touch too.

But you can use a normal HT bolt in there with a hex or allen head , one
marked 10.9 or 12.9 would be best, they are stronger than the default 8.8
spec.
Black allen headed bolts tend to be 10.9 as a minimum.
Ideally find a bolt that has a long enough unthread section to pass through
one side of the hub and the slot in the balljoint, but obviously not to much
unthreaded so the nut bottoms out.

Just standard shouldered bolts through arm to body. Camber bolts if you like in 
the shock to hub mounts.

You may find washers are needed in the cavity the arm sits to get it nice and 
tightly seated before tightening.

But you can use a normal HT bolt in there with a hex or allen head , one
