Alignment & control arm Question

1998MarkVIII

Registered
Hello All,
Last inspection I found out that one of my lower ball joints needs to be replaced this year.

I have bought replacement upper and lower control arms and links.
I am ready to start, but I do not want this to turn into a “stuck project.”

I remember that when I did this on my Cougar, the upper arms needed me to remove the nuts from under the hood and some of the nuts were hare to reach. I just looked at my Mark and it looks like one of the nuts is below the master cylinder.

I know that I will need an alignment after I replace lower control arms, but will I need a second alignment if I leave the upper arms till later? Or, should I just get on with it?

Note: I still have original air shocks.

Are there any gotchas I need to watch out for? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Y
