Your English is quite phenomenal .....yes working with your hands especially doing these little projects is good for the soul ..you contribute some great work on the forum ....Paul
Yes I marked it with a pen, should allow me to get back in fairly the same position.Did you peg or mark the console position?
When replacing this lower arm is there a secret to getting the arm out of this bush I can imagine it binds on well ..without dropping consul ..in fact without dropping consul can you remove the control arm ?
Cracking job well done I think we can all learn something from this project ...I hope the other side is easier ?...PaulNew ball joint in place, with some undercoat on top as rust protection.

And then fasten the screw now once the car is on its wheel, giving the right angle of the wishbone front bush.

Job done ✔
It took more time than I had thought partly due to the thread damage. Hopefully it is not an everytime experience.
The screw that holds the front end of the wishbone to console must also be removed since it also involves the "frame".
This screw was very very uncoopeative. I probably spent 45 minutes trying to persuade it to leave the console threads fully, giving it continuous lubrication and winding it back and forth in small movements. I relized the concole threads were being destroyed in this operation .

And now I could wiggle away the wishbone/console.
