After replacing the tires, I need to have the front upper right and left control arms replaced, do I need to wait until after the control.

Or can I do the alignment before the control arms are changed?

Sometimes replacement parts change the alignment slightly. All of the front-end components should be replaced first and then have the wheels aligned.
