    Knock outs for FT end alignment?

    So I call a local shop for a FEA after I get these ball joints in, and he asked if the knock outs have been removed yet. Not sure what he is talking about. Can anyone explain what i need to look for. The shop said the lower swing arms have to be removed to do this. (cut the knock outs out)
