The crossmember comes removable in some cars while in other units, they come as a part of the car’s body. But this doesn’t change the purpose of the crossmember; whether removable or fixed, crossmembers are installed in the vehicle to provide greater ground clearance which is very important especially in going through rough trails. (Auto Parts Wholesale)
