Question Help wit CV swap

Their to the point where welding the lower control arms rear mounts on but not sure how to line them up.? Moving the rear of the lower control arm in or out changes the camber/caster (ball joint angle) so how do you know where to weld the mounts? The line drawed in the pic to show the alignment in question? Maybe, we just over thinking it.

I haven't done one but from the research I've done I think you might be over thinking it. I haven't seen anybody make a fuss about where to put the rear mounts. It sounded to me that where the rear mount hits was a fixed point. That there was no movement. How much movement is there?

You can move them in and out about 1.5 inch. You may be right, I prolly over thinking it.
