Im replacing my entire front suspension with Moog parts in the next week or two. My question is this, the new upper arm is a one piece design compared with the old two piece one. my understand is the two piece was done for alignment purposes, now how will this affect my ability to get my ex properly aligned with the one piece design???

As far as I know, there should be a two piece upper control arm on the right hand side. If you have no chance to regulate - no chance to allign properly. this is my opinion. I changed my upper control arms recently and get two pieces. But check it with some spcialist. Maybe there is some trick we don/t recognise.
 






You can get either style. I believe the two piece is for caster adjustment. Get a set of the Moog cam's and wedges. They are MUCH easier to get in than the stock ones as the wedge is not permanently attached to the cam. FYI the driver side control arm is going to be a PITA with the factory cam/wedge.
 












All the aftermarket cams/wedges get you is adjustable camber.
