yeah ive seen cracked leafs in multi leaf cars & trucks too, but the other leafs kept the rear together. crack a mono leaf & theres nothing else there to keep the rear end in place, im sure these mono leafs are fine for majority of cars on the street, just mentioning what ive heard about safety issues in extreme situations.
