Default Differences in opinions.

Just like politics, each stations have their own opinion as to what is safe and not safe. For example the king pin in a truck may fail state tolerances yet it is within the manufacturer specification. Each manufacturer have different specification for safe tolerance of front end bushings and bearings yet the state has a 'catch all' tolerance. A vehicle may pass manufacturer tolerance yet fail a state inspection. Go figure. I have known dealers that will pass a test within manufacturers tolerances even if it fails state test to please their customers.
