to clarify....

I took the steering knuckle to the shop. The did the lower BJ R&R
I re-installed the steering knuckle, did rest of work, did rough measurement
and adjust of alignment, drove bus to alignment shop.

Of note, I wish I'd done the upper arm bushings
prior to alignment. These were worn beyond spec. Ain't hindsight grand?

;)
