Question X-wind landings on airliners - slip or crab?

I am under the assumption that the gear of most airliners is able to withstand landing in crab up till max-certified x-wind component. Is that correct or is that only valid for slippery conditions?

I am not talking about preferred techniques, only what the manufactures recommend and what the aircraft can stand.

I know the 747 can land in crab but how about e.g. a 737, MD80 and Airbus 300, 32X and that size of aircrafts?
