[s-cars] Lower control arms and alignment

[LL - NY]

Generally speaking, if your ball joints are shot, there is no real way to do
an accurate
alignment due to wheel location slop.

So, to answer your question. Do the arms first, THEN do the alignment.

Sorry that it's not the answer you'd like to hear.
