Default C Beam Question ZF6
I was under my car this past weekend doing maintenance work. And I noticed that where my C beam curves inward towards driveshaft, the ribs (don't know what they are called, the cutouts that look like a triangle) are bent in the middle. Is this normal?
As I have never seen another one close up.

Provides clearance around the drive shaft. Normal.
