I gave the service manager at Les Stanford the part numbers for the tools a couple of years ago. They claimed they have them on this forum. I have not confirmed. I have also heard good things about Paul's in Commerce Twp. You might want to check with them.

They for sure don't have them. It's pretty amazing, how can you be a dealer and not have this simple tool?

Alan Johnson at Mattick DOES have the tools and knows exactly what we are talking about. I'm heading there this coming week.

Thanks for the information. Please post after you get the alignment done and let us know how it went.
Here is the thread where Les Stanford claimed to have the tool. Les Stanford Alignment It's crazy one of the top dealers in the country doesn't have the proper tools to support the car.
