Default Rear lower control arm

So I had found a curb to say the least I’m in need of replacing my lower control arm. I’m assuming the rear bolt holding on the lower control arm is a one time use as it stripped all the threads taking out. Is there any type of aligning I need to do when I replace the bolt ? Or is everything my just rebolt and torque.

This is not a TTY bolt, and I have personally reused them on several 3rd and 4th gen F-bodies without issues. But if the threads have come apart, perhaps due to corrosion, then you'll obviously need new bolts.

If the car sits at stock ride height, there should be no need to do anything with alignment.

When I had my LCA's upgraded, the installer used the same stock bolts.
