Ballbusters up there, eh? Wow.The classic cars will not be affected by the new regulations.
The safety requirements we are following now are outdated by 35 years.
The new requirements now include airbags,ABS and traction control systems to be functioning in order to pass the inspection if the car is so equipped. Plus the check engine light cannot be on either.
As a shop,we will now have to do a required road test,record thickness of friction materials (pads,rotors) tire treadd deppths.
As for the 70 NYer,the Class A mechanic will have to measure the play of the ball joints,and if they are still within spec--even if they do have play--you are allowed a certain amount--he cannot fail them just because they have play.
Is this nation wide or a Provence thingie?
