I can say from personal experience a 20G25 90 deg crosswind was not a big deal. The wide track of the landing gear and a pretty powerful rudder makes the aircraft pretty good when dealing with a cross wind landing. IMO a bigger issue is the crosswind takeoff. A strong cross wind from the left needs aggressive use of the rudder and even some brake as you are counteracting both the weather vanning tendency and engine torque.
