What is side slide?

[Lawcc]

I was once sent my car for inspection in Puspakom and was told that my car side-slip (correction not side slide, malay is gelincir sisi) was poor.

Apparently this is the standard checking in Puspakom.

What is this meant? What is the cause of it? What to replace or how to
rectify?

Any ideaaaaaaaaaaaa??? No one?

 

[ongteckweng]

why u didnt ask the officer @ puspakom?

 

[Lawcc]

Never thought of that at that time. Thought can ask around and fix it easily.

Correction not side slide but side-slip, malay is gelincir sisi.

Apparently this is the standard checking in Puspakom.

I think it's something about the tyre alignment....from the meaning of the words itself...
...something like your tyres not rotating properly...

my 2 cents....

Thanks Bob...I think you are very close to it. Yes, I believe is something to do with wheel 'alignment'...

 

[Lawcc]

Thanks Bob again. You triggered me to do Goggle search and this is what I found.

"If Automobile front-wheel drive (steering wheel) toe-in is not fit with camber angle, automobile will broadwise sideslip when auto is going. It's called wheel sideslip. The wheel sideslip will directly influence tire wear degree and steer handiness. KSC-101 Automobile sideslip tester especially test the wheel sideslip, it is the necessary equipment to assure the auto steer handiness. "

Not all the alignment shop has the machine to check this.
