With the smaller diameter bolt it lets the knucle pivot in the strut yoke. Basically both are moving to some degree. Letting the hub/knucle assy move in or out.
Edit; Basically the same as Latief's link.

yes, it is the same . the smaller bolt goes into the upper bolt location on the lower strut. they loosen the lower one a bit and pull the strut back or forward according to the reading. then you tighten everything down ...similar to the video above ...
