Frame damage?

Is the strut on the front of the car (the piece that the hood latch is attached to and what the radiator bolts to) actually a welded part of the frame? Or is it detachable and replaceable, like on most cars?

no. A strut is a breakdancing move where you freeze as youre dancing. Your strut tower is where your shocks connect to.. a strut bar can be fastened on a strut tower... not to be confused with the dance move

Define:STRUT:Struts provide outwards-facing support in their lengthwise direction, which can be used to keep two other components separate, performing the opposite function of a tie...

Obviously the word strut has more than one meaning... Now, seriously can someone please give me some useful info, I am sort of in a bind.... Thanks...
