Not Ranked
As told to me*
My engineer also went into that - apparently the way HE tested the chassis rigidity was to put the completed vehicle on four points at each corner of the chassis (again wheel off the ground) and then remove one point to measure the drop.
he didn't go too much into what else was involved - like if he did that all for corners in turn. I imagine there is some big book of tables that engineers can look at that would give the acceptable levels or how that translates to Newton Metres or what the password to the 7th level is.
