I have a couple that I used, when I owned my Camaro. I had two of them, because they have to be adjusted for length, in order to do both the caster and camber adjustments. Having two tools, at different lengths makes the job easier/quicker. I sold the car a couple of years ago, and probably should sell the "j-hooks" now.

There are 3 "designated holes", one in the frame, and two in the control arm. To move the a-arm, you place one end of the "j-hook" in the "pivot hole" in the frame, and depending on whether you want to adjust the camber or the caster, you hook the other end of the tool in the corresponding hole in the control arm. The tool then works like a turnbuckle, and you either shorten or lengthen it, depending on which way you need to move the control arm, to get the setting that you need.

Also...never go back to that NTB again. If a shop, specializing in alignments and tire work... doesn't have the tools, or the tech's with the competency to align one of these cars, you need to run far away. The fact they'd tell you that you need to provide a special tool is just insane.
