what is the proper install procedure for lower control arms?

Can't find it anywhere in my service manuals.
Do you bolt the shafts to the crossmember first, then slip on control arm and shaft nuts?
Thanks,
SC

I didn't replace my shafts,so I just bolted mine back up to the brackets I think that will be the easiest way.Just be sure that you line your dowel pins back up with the holes in the shafts and try to equally tighten the nuts.That was advice given to me by a front end shop.
