Re: mehari ride height Mine hasn't been altered since it left the factory, but I don't know what the measurements are on the tie rods  http://www.international2cvfriends.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1888

Re: mehari ride height Why measure the tie rods? What if the spring cans are in different places? Measure from the ground. I never bother measuring it, if it looks right it is right, have a look at a few pictures of them as they left the factory.

Re: mehari ride height Don't forget, take the load off the suspension before adjusting - you can strip the threads if you adjust with the wheels still on the ground.
