As mentioned, you should be able to adjust the front end with the control arms.
As for the previous style (like my car), it's the same thing, just with an original style upright instead of the billet. And the original uprights are weak loads of crap.

Lets see now. Yes the allen head bolts are loose so when you stop or accelerate the caster changes and the bolts are trying to be sheared, to serice the rotor you have to take the whole upright and steering arm off the control arms and ties rod arm and then press the spindle off the hub. The front part of the upright is slotted so a new piece would have to be fabricated if you wanted to drill though the back and tap it. You can not get any allen wrench into the space or make it work sincethe clearence between it and the rotor is less that the diameter of an 8mm or 5/16 allen wrench and the heads are recessed in the slot inside the upper part of the block on the front of the upright and you can not ever see the the allen head which is at the lower part of the same block.......
