passe travers

French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Mise en place des talons
French term or phrase: passe travers
This is the complete sentence. I can't find "passe travers" anywhere.

La mise en place des talons n'est pas réalisée sur les roues galettes, car elle risquerait de les détalonner (passe travers).

Thank you!

slipping sideways


Explanation:
Without more context, this has to be low level of confidence. But, presumably, slipping sideways might strip the teeth from the wheel.
