Question relates to a '96 Rover Mini 1.3L SPi
Hi folks, question for all of you. When I had the mini inspected, I was told that both my upper and lower balljoints need replacing. I didn't think there was a difference, so I did some quick research and ordered 2 of these knuckle joints:

I've had them sitting around, not thinking about it, but I'm going to take them into the mechanic that did the inspection, and while under the car the other day, noticed that there actually is a lower balljoint. Now my questions is, what's the difference between that knuckle joint, and these balljoints:

Based on the Haynes manual, it almost feels like the knuckle joint *is* the upper ball joint, but I can't really tell that easily. Could someone please explain the difference to me? I can't seem to find anything in the Haynes manual, or using my Google-fu.
