Very easy if the tie rods turn easily in their eyes - and yours do as I adjusted that Dyane when I got it as it was all lop-sided!

I, at 14 can change a car from normal hight to low rider in 20 mins maybe slightly longer or shorter depending how well oiled or not the tie rods are.

I'm having a crisis of confidence with my mechanicing skills at the minute so will probably just leave it for now. Gotta admit it looks good. Whoever the black and yellow 2cv is that turned up to the CX rally really impressed me with how it looked. BUT how do they drive?
