So they get the toe-in (or is that toe-out?) spot-on.
And then they go and fit suspension with a crazy amount of camber change! :D

I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the same tool but I remember seeing a picture of a fixture at the factory for setting up the rear suspension arms and holding them in the correct position for fitting to the bodyshell. It was huge!

Al.
That tool is likely to be the one you remember. The madness is that it relies on an adjustable suspension arm mounting, (which has three setscrews fastening it to the floor), being assumed to be in exactly the right place. I think it is merely to allow for minor differences in the dimensions or location of the silentbloc in the suspension arm. They were very thorough those tool designers.... kept themselves in work!
