I would knock them out. That was so the factory could get them close enough to roll out the door.I Have a good idea what I need to do at this point going forward!
One last question regarding the cam bolt knockouts and installation of new or original cam bolts when doing Uca’s.
This Would be the first time installing control arms but the importance specifically with the uppers it’s noted mentioned too 100% knock out the cam tabs prior to installing new Uca’s. I’ assume this is for ability to get the camber adjusted at a shop down the line.
Is there a rule of thumb generally on making sure to mark where each cam bolt was rotated from factory before removing them !
Ex: making notches or scribing in alignment marks on each
“cam bolt” and “ Uca perch” that way when installing them they are already 98% back where they need to be ?
My Example: Before anything make some type of alignment mark prior to removing cam bolts ?You must be registered for see images attach
Knocking out tabs as shown below

Alternatively this Might be a dumb question but What would be the difference if you just left them cam knockouts in place and put the New Uca’s and bolts back in same position wouldn’t that give you a Precise factory alignment from the get go ?

If you were replacing them with factory ones, and not lowering your suspension then you would be ok.
But since that's the intent of why you are replacing them, knock them out. If you don't, the tech doing your alignment after is gonna hate you, and charge you accordingly for doing it!!
One of mine came out easy peasy, the other put up a fight for about 10min. And that was with it all torn apart. Couldn't imagine how happy a tech would be with having to do it when everything is in the way.
