[QUOTE=sebberry;6592040]If the owner of the car truly believes that the car has passed the inspection (pass sticker from a designated inspection facility), why would you put them through the ordeal of having their car towed on the spot if the "defect" doesn't pose an immediate safety hazard? Unless a wheel is about to fall off, what's wrong with issuing a fix it order?

Because it is unsafe and illegal to opetrate a vehicle with that kind of suspension. His problem is with the inspection station that passed his vehicle for any of the following reasons...and I have see them all. 1) he is an unskilled inspector/mechanic, 2) he is a friend of the guy owning the car, 3) he is a friend of a friend who owns the car, 4) he works for the shop that did the mods and wants money over safety, 5) he took a bribe to pass the defective vehicle, he really thinks him liking the mod is better than complying with the law. ...make your own list.
