Lower control arms??

I have my uppers installed so they look even and no clearance problems, but how do I get the lowers centered? this will obviously be going for an alignment before it's driven just making my chassis a roller, does it really matter at this point? they have indents on them for what I would assum is a centering bolt but the perches are factory riveted in? any help would be appreciated

That indent in the control arm mates with a nub inside the front control arm saddle.

Re: Lower control arms??

it doesn't seem to fit in is the issue, factory nubs/rivets may be worn down or i'm missing something, they seemed to bolt in fine and look even just seemed to have play prior to tightening, alignment shop will figure it out I'm sure
