If it's a MOOG, the BJ can be pressed in at different angles, depending on what you want to do with the caster/camber . Then you rotate the stud for more adjustment. In other words, the ball is offset in the part that presses in, and the stud itself is also offset, or not straight (for the lack of a better description. And are they MOOG or what ?

I think you are correct in your assumption that turning the stud will alter the angles. That is something that the alignment tech is going to have to set correctly though.
Yea, to do that I would ahve to put my front end back together and take it in and pay someone $300. SO I just returned the adjustable ones and went and got the offsets I needed. Popping them in now actually. Had to run in to wipe my 3 years olds but.... She was screaming from the bathroom when I heard the email update "dong" on my computer.. lol

So I guess you don't want to answer the question about what brand you are getting? You got me on your ignore list or something? LOL
