The chassis side / big ball joint part should be stiff to turn for a new part. The connecting rod that goes off towards the lower control arm should be the bit you turn for the caster adjustment (well mostly caster - also effects camber by a small amount too because of the weird triangular shape of the front suspension).
I think common opinion is that Meyle isn't as good as Lemfoerder
