Our new system of inspection and notification of rebuild status is pretty good. The Mechanical inspection is pretty tough, but there is ONE THING you can do to protect yourself, above all else.
Take it to a Frame and Alignment shop, have them put it on the alignment rack, and have them check the frame height and wheel alignment. Modern alignment systems are amazingly accurate as lasers are used for vertical and horizontal on each wheel. The Computer printout will tell you what is going on.
A rebuild vehicle may track true at 60 km / hr. At 130 km / hr it is a totally different experience.
If the alignment is true, you can do 170 km / hr (on a race track with a professional race driving instructor of course!!!) and the vehicle will be stable.
Sad part is alot of the vehicles on the road that are NOT rebuild status, can't do this because of wear and tear due to our bombed out roads. This sinkhole / pothole problem is just going to get worse with the budget cutbacks yet to come.
