This is actually pretty stupid because so many people will keep driving until something breaks. Tie rod ends letting go can kill people.
For those states that have the emissions testing.... That should be ended.
Oh the humanity!
I used to do vehicle inspections when I worked as a mechanic. It's a money grabbing scam, it makes nothing any safer. The amount the mechanic made from doing the inspection was so low that we didn't actually look at anything, no one is going to put a vehicle on a lift and check tie rod ends when they're making $5, it's not worth the time. The real reason for it was the state made $50 if you were caught with an expired inspection sticker, which was very easy to let lapse. Thank God they did away with that BS.
haha! Do you seriously think they inspect the tie rods? It is a dumb nanny state waste of time and money. Good riddance. I’m having a hard time believing people support this.
