Structural Rust and Hello !.

[Isle Dweller]

Hello,

Just wanted to introduce myself and ask for some fairly urgent advice.

I've owned  my 2005 Legacy since 2015 and had ten years of fun and trouble free motoring, even when snow and ice meant I was the only user of our remote rural road next the sea!. That  of course  means salt in the air and on the road. So where and what is "front strut?". Is it the beam that carries the suspension or the  bracket that  carries the radiator?, The latter has rotted through and the former is not too bad. M.O.T is at the end of the month  and I can't bear to part with her. I know I should have taken notice of the last years advisory and I really meant too ,but time really does fly!.
