The plastic cover on the rear toe arm, rearmost bottom, is used to locate the factory KT tool during an alignment.
I don't know of anyone doing alignments that way anymore, everyone uses the Motorsports tool that hangs off the brake caliper mounting bolts.
Hi Bill,
The KT tool is a nice piece of unobtainium in the aftermarket and seeing at this point most air-cooled servicing is done by independents as you say the tool is not used much.
I always wondered if one purchased a $25 electronic tilt gauge and calibrated it against a KT or the Motorsports tool it would be a viable option for this purpose.

probably it would be fine you would want a fore/aft positioning for the level though
You can get a sense just from looking at the fore/aft position of the wheel in the well opening
the more forward the more KT is imposed
