My car failed the sideslip test at Vicom during inspection. I was stunned, never ever failed sideslip before in over 20 years of car ownership, especially when at that time, my stock car's wheel alignment was done only a few months prior. Went back to alignment place, the boss said the alignment looks fine and within spec, so he only made minimal adjustments. Reattempted the slipslip again at the same Vicom, but different inspection lane, no problems passing. Wah lao, wasted a few hours of my life on a mystery inspection failure. Side slip is actually wheel tracking side way, the tolerance is 5m/km , any wheel side tracking or lateral pulling more than that is unsafe for driving. To overcome wheel side slip (on assumption yr car camber setting is set correctly , for most Asian cars they use fix angle type ) normally a very minute adjustments are need on the toe angle of both wheels. You can have yr wheels toe angle set as per spec on expensive computerised wheel aligner but that does mean you can pass side slip test, because wheels on aligner angle is set on static position whereas side slip testing is done in motion.

I think these are ok as Long as the wattage doesn’t exceed the original bulbs. only retrofitting LED/HID headlamps, and DRLs, are not allowed. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong... any aftermarket LED bulb that replaces any halogen bulb on the car lights are not allowed. Be it signal, pole, brakes, reverse, low beam, high beam, all not allowed.

Watwheels Supersonic January 23, 2020 Share January 23, 2020 For my previous car I just revert all my LED bulbs to halogen ones, front and rear, then go for inspection. After inspection I went back to LEDs. LoL... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To play safe, i always change back to glass bulbs before inspection. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeobh 4th Gear February 7, 2020 Share February 7, 2020 Prior to 1982, all vehicles were visually inspected and data manually recorded, except brake testing which was conducted via a roller brake testers and results display via large analogue gauges. All testing at that time was conducted by ROV By 1982 few authorised vehicle inspection test centres were set-up, and ROV by then function as regulator and all vehicle testing and inspection works were transferred to the newly set-up vehicle inspection centres. All newly set-up vehicle inspection centres are fully computerised, and vehicles undergo testing and inspection via a “production style” test lanes. Major portion of the testing are done via machines and test results are captured by computers which will be the decision “maker”. For items that cannot be test via machines, inspectors will do visual inspections and information key or scan to computers for final decision. Final inspection result will be full pass or partial pass or fail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
