I talked to a GD representative today and while we were talking suspension, I figured I would ask just how bad Jackknifing is. He said that is a common myth, but that it is not bad at all for the suspension. He said that compared to the dynamic forces from bumps and regular driving aberrations, the forces (lateral and otherwise) during jackknifing are tiny. That all the creaking, popping and ugly looking angles are all normal operation.
At first I couldn't believe what he was saying. So I re-asked 2 or 3 different ways , making sure he knew what I was talking about. But he insisted he understood and that it's harmless unless there is already issues with the system (he mentioned a few parts that could break if rusted as an example).
What do you guy say to that?
