That was also my case, had to go out and buy a T55 to install my adjustable rear camber links.

After I installed my adjustable camber kit I took it to the local Tire's Plus for alignment. After checking the car in the counter person said they would not provide a Lifetime alignment warranty option I wanted with the aftermarket parts on it. I talked with the mechanic afterward and he said he did not have the T55 bit. I took the car to Firestone and they did the lifetime alignment. I asked why they already had my car in the system and learned the same company owned Tire's Plus.

Yes,There is a 3square 12MM bolt back there. NAPA bit set sell for $68.00. Harbor Freight's 3square set is less than half the cost. Squirrel Crusher
