Default Adjustable lower ball joints

I bought a set of adjustable lower ball joints for my cherokee and when I got them They dont really adjust or pivot or anything that I can tell. The stud on them is kinda at a angle. do I just seat them where I want them adjusted or something or is there a way to adjust them? Anyone ever use them before that can give me any advice on them? And any advice on how i can tell when my camber is closest to 0? Thanks for the help.

or am I better off just replacing them with regular ones upper and lower? Would this fix my camber problem?

Use the offset upper ball joints. They come in .5 degree denominations up to I think 1.5 degree. Just as long as u know what offset you nee is as simple as changing OE joints and you might as well change the lowers while your there. And make sure to get it aligned afterwards. If you need the SPC part numbers p/m me.
