I had my LCA's replaced under warranty once before, and they need it again, but I probably won't be able to get it done before I need my state inspection this month. For those in the know, do you think this would be a likely reason for a failure on a NY inspection? I'm not sure how much of a safety issue the LCA's really are.
Thanks

i would think only if there cracked or rubber gone otherwise i wouldn't think it would fail because of that would be brutal if it did though

Digger10t, what part of n.y. are you in. ?

I'm in Virginia right now for a job, and my registration is up July 5th, so I need to get somewhere in NY to renew my inspection so I can re-register the car before 7/5. I was going to drive to Syracuse where my family lives and have it done there somewhere.

I am also trying to get the pads and front rotors I purchased put on prior to inspection. Since I am working out of state, doing them myself is probably out of the question.

I gotcha . I worked for delta Sonic and when they opened the location in DeWitt I spent the summer in Syracuse working there. It was kinda cool. I'm in buffalo. Are you going to find a shop in Virginia to do the brakes or just have them done in the area you wind up doing the inspection?

Stupid state inspections. This couldn't be anymore annoying.,

I used to drive to the DS once in a while...always busy out there. I found a place to do the brakes for just the cost of two hours labor (80/hr), which isn't bad I suppose. A lot of shops around here didn't want to deal with customer supplied parts which is annoying, but probably just means I am calling the wrong shops for quotes.

I should probably try to get a recommendation from a board member on a good Richmond shop

too bad your not in nj - to save money, they only check emissions now.

 

[digger10t]

Well I found a reprieve...at least for a while. NY offers an Emissions Exemption which is a fancy way of saying "go ahead and re-register your vehicle without an inspection, but it'll cost you double." So, I can register the car, NY-DMV is sending me a sticker which grants me ten days to get inspected once I do happen to get back to NY (and usually gets an out of state cop off your back), and I can take my time getting my brakes and LCA done so that I don't have to miss work to do it. Sucks that I had to pay the extra money, but compared to missing work at an inopportune time, I'm happy to pay.

Gotta do what yuh gotta do. Glad to hear you got it worked out.
