That's what is printed in the repair manuals, and you hope you get close, but you also need to look at it after you are done to make sure, especially with a questionable country-of-origin on today's parts. About a week ago, I finished a complete front end rebuild on my kid's RWD Thunderbird. Complete, as in upper and lower control arms w/ball joints, links, tie rods, the whole works.
