Here in MD they check everything involved in safety on your vehicle everytime the vehicle is
sold. If sold in MD it needs to be inspected before it can be retitled in MD. The inspection
includes brake pads, brake shoes, rotors, drums,
brake lines, wheel cylinders for leaks, master cylinder too. They alse inspect all your glass in the vehicle for cracks and if the side windows
work properly. They check your struts and shocks. They check the steering for being too loose like the tie rods. If anything needs to be repaired or replaced to fix any fault it has to be be done before you're issued the inspection
certificate. They measure the brake drums and rotors for being worn too thin. Tires are another
thing they inspect and if the tread is worn too thin you need to replace them. You need to keep a car in good mechanical shape if you plan on selling it, and the exhaust is another item they will check. It cost over $100.00 just for the inspection. You can have them do the repairs or do it yourself. I usually did the work myself. Then the vehicle needs to have any of problems that were found and are fixed needs to be reinspected by the same shop that did the original inspection. Brake caliphers are inspected too. I probably missed a few. They will look at the front tires to see if they're worn evenly or are wearing from being out of alignment. Hal

Today's Featured Article - Fasteners: The Nuts and Bolts of Nuts and Bolts - by Curtis Von Fange. The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let’s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought. ...
