snap clicking sound when slowing down with brakes or engine.
Kevin said it could be the inner tierod but How come it does not do it when I just move the steering wheel back and forth? It will only do it when I am slowing down or use engine braking. It does click a lot when I move the steering wheel tho ONLY during braking though...
So how would that be Inner-tie rod? IT sounds like a bushing or a Stab link or prob inner tie rod and stab link that are both different sounds.
Well this worries me because I need to get an inspection done in the next 2 days.

go run over a few bumps and listen ... if you hear it pop then, check the end links on the sway bar. mine did the same sortta thing and that is what it was. if you don't feel excess play in the steering, I don't think it'd be your tie rod ends.

can you narrow it down to a side? Jack it up and see if you can see anything that doesn't quite look right. I had an infinity where the front sway bar linkage broke and make all kinds of weird noises.
maybe you could jack up both sides and look for differences in anything

Well it failed inspection for my headlights of all things... argh... I hate this place. Nver go to Sooner Lube in Tewks mass. Place sucks ***. All the kids that work they are retarded and it is ran by some horrible customer serving Chinese guy. He just Slapped an R on my car just for having my HIDs too bright.

didn't know there was a limit on intensity of headlights .... sucks!
I wonder if changing to a different temp bulb would help you pass? Or, another place might pass it fine. Never know.

Yah they also said it was because they don't have Hi beams as well. Thats a bunch of BS. There is not law saying you need Hi and low. They are already pretty much low beams that are hi, I don't have BI-xenon and I was not gonna pay extra for it.

Bring it to another place...I passed MA inspection with a test pipe, clear corners, no front plate, etc.

yea, it can depend on who looks at it. You do need hi and low beams to pass btw.
I also passed inspection with a test pipe cat and clear corners. I have bi-xenon, so I have my hi beams too .... do you still have the orig headlights? If so, swap em out, get it passed and slap them back in. I know it's a PITA, but ... gotta do what ya gotta do, right.

Do you think I can get Bi-xenons now? Or do I need new Ballsiest s?

Ok, first off .... not trying to pick a fight, but you have to realize the reason you failed is because there are laws / rules in place to keep people safe (and so the gov gets our $$$ .... whole nother story!). You failed because your car didn't meet the 'standards' put in place by the gov / state.
As for going to bi-xenon lights .... no, the ballast is the same. The projector is what gives you the bi-xenon ... they have a small reflector in them and a solinoide that moves it when you hit the hi beams. If you go to a bi-xenon set up, you'll need to trigger the solinoides for the hi beams. (in other words, you'll need a better harnes - pm me if you need one)
Can't be upset that it didn't pass, you just gotta make it so it does. If that means taking it elsewhere, then so be it.

ok, I need what ever it takes to get HI and low beams. With the most minimal cost. Let me know. And I don't have projectors, I thought that Bi-xenons are also for my 9004 kit. no?
