Heim joints bud, they're called heims. And yours work the same way that every other heim ever made does. Which is to say that the aftermarket adjustable strut rods work the same exact way as yours do (without the K member butchery).
And of course, more pictures of that butchered K member that has never seen a single mile on the track or the street. But I'm sure it's the best one ever made. When yoint, torsion bar, sway bar and shock failure that the rubber in the original LCA bushing would hold the LCA on the car. Not that it would matter with the tire folded up in the wheel well after the spindle was detached from the LCA, but what the hell.
