In New York State every vehicle must pass the official New York State Inspection, and vehicles with suspension or steering problems will not pass the inspection. Our technicians perform a suspension and steering system inspection, checking for excessive play, worn ball joints, tie rods, and other safety related components. In some cases a full suspension repair can be expensive, so in our shop we try to recommend a practical solution that keeps the vehicle safe and helps it meet inspection requirements for driving on New York roads. The final repair cost depends on the condition of the suspension components and the vehicle design.
