Inspection priorities
- Structural rust, collision repair and suspension pickup areas.
- Steering, wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods and aging bushings.
- Brake hydraulics, hoses/lines, tire condition and wheel fasteners.
- Fuel hose/pump wiring, charging system, battery/engine/chassis grounds and previous harness modifications.
- Cooling-system condition, fan operation, leaks and evidence of overheating.
- On modified cars: engine/trans mounts, driveshaft, differential/subframe mounts, exhaust heat clearance and serviceability.
