I'm going to assume you're talking about the compliance bush and bolt. The sleeve is what is used to adjust the castor on the car, and it will therefore need the Geometry adjusting, otherwise it'll be unsafe to drive 'properly' and will cause excessive wear on your tyres.
Did you have an accident, and do you know the state of the rest of your alignment bolts? Seized bolts and bushes are a minefield...check the FAQ for more info, including Geo settings.
FWIW, Castor/Toe/Camber can be adjusted on the front wheels, and Camber/Toe on the rear. Somewhere like Kwikfit is not sufficient as they do not have the equipment to adjust the rear.
