I don't doubt that a flat crossmember will flex. How bout any flat stock crossmember failures?
(deja vu)
Notice that I've never disagreed with anything said here. What I'm asking for here is more than an educated guess based on what people expect flat stock to do. I'm asking for someone who ran a flat stock crossmember to show us how it failed. Flex does NOT equal failure. flex equals flex. Over a long period of time, flex will fatigue metal until it fails. What period of time is that? What is the mode of failure when it happens to a crossmember like this?
Anyone with answers or am I gonna get more spobi? =)
