this one's for all my fellow ny staters, i need to get my 3gee inspected cuz its already a few days overdue. just a few questions i have about it. first, my right side of the windshield has a nice crack down it, does that mean my car will fail automatically? also, im not sure how good my ball joints are, can a car fail for having bad ball joints too? other than that though the car is straight, just those couple things im worried about. any info would be great so i dont waste the 16 bucks if im just gonna fail anyway. thanks!

Been a while since i had a NYS inspection lis. but yeah the windshield will fail you. The crack can be under the windshield wiper blades and be under I think its 14 inches.

Few other things they check off the top of my head

All suspension pieces.

Tires

Front brake (required just one side)

E-brake had to work,hold properly

Lights ,wipers, horn, mirrrors.

Power steering condition


BTW what county are you from I grew up in Otsego.

Oh rotenchester ok . yeah I went to college at RIT.

Im prolly 800 miles from you thank god.

You might on the side try to find a place that just passes them along. Alotta places do it just gotta find out by word of mouth.

I got a windshiled here done for about $150 I just went to the place when I noticed they were slow one day.
