Was wondering because I bought my car from Ohio with a salvage TITLE and brought it to PA and they told me I need to get the PA salvage inspection because its from Ohio and I believe I have a bad CV joint. Will they even check it and if they do will they fail me for it?

 

You can fail an inspection for a torn cv boot.. You can't fail for a cv joint thats clicking though. Depends on the inspector really.

 

i bet they wont even look.

 

i failed my texas inspection today because i didnt have one of my lugnuts on lol

 

someone is a stickler

 

Most likely they wont check for that or even notice unless it is severely torn you should pass

i've heard they are pretty hard *** on inspections in New York tho. the OP is from PA and i've heard they are a little less hard assed about inspections.

i have a friend who moved from PA to NY and her car was ok in PA and not ok in NY. so i really doubt that they would fail you for a bad CV joint... but really just change the [freak]ing axle. its not that hard, and then you dont have to deal with the clicky axle.

 

i would fix it but right now i got other **** to fix and only about $300 to spend.

dude an axle costs like 45 bucks refurb'd after you give them back the core. i'd rather know that my car isnt going to leave me stranded some where because of a jacked up axle.

I was building my turbo crx at the time and decided to run open downpipe because I no longer had to test.
