How To Make It Legal And Avoid Future Defects

[J'son]

A question, for those of you who have been defected in the ACT, and then made changes to pass the defect and gone back to how the car was before, eg rims that are too big, or car slightly too low ect.

Have you been re-defected or once it is fixed and solved it generally all been fine.

Also, when and how where you defected..

The whole story:

My girl got a new car, had a few issues, we fixed them for rego, and get it passed at a local repair shop. Then the gov decides to audit the inspection place, and gets us to bring the car in to dickson, which was mostly fixed from before. They defect it on some of the same stuff and a bunch of new stuff, mainly the fact the track on the front wheels is out (20mm less than should be), and the front tires scrub the inside on full lock, even though the rolling diameter is fine. And the eyebrow height of the car, as in centre of the wheel to the guard (the car clears the 100mm off the ground no issues).

This is a pain cos the suspension is totally new pedders sports suspension, which barely lowers the car at all, and when the first check was done, we took out the stupidly low superlow king springs and had stock ones in, so she could save to get the new ones which are now installed. And they actually said the back was right on the limit with the stock ones though.

*There are a few other things that they knocked, but they were easy fixes that i've done, these are the problem ones that are f*n expensive to sort, esp that we just bought the NEW suspension!!*

Just curious how likely she is to get stung again if some of the changes are changed back afterwards? But also if there is a way to get the different eye brow height complied? Cos the wheels are inside the guards and dont scrub (except the fronts on full lock). We may need to look for new rims, and they also need new tires cos are 86 not 84 for the load baring capacity for some unknown reason!
