Default What would one call this piece?

If this is the wrong forum for this, sorry. I'm just curious on what is the term for this piece is and how bad it is to replace lol the bent piece under radiator is what I'm referring to. Looks like it wraps around to both sides and just bolted on.

Front U-Brace (Subframe)

Can usually find them locally from part outs or junkyard cheap.

There's more than just U Brace damage there. The lower Radiator Core Support looks damaged as well.

Just have to remove the bolts. Don't need to pull the engine for that.

The core support pieces will be spot welded in, so that will be the tricky part.

That's no prob. If I can get it to my shop after I repair the rear suspension I can weld it or spot weld it in. That's actually a bummer to hear that lol I thought the main issue would be that ubrace lol

U-Brace is the easy part

Looking again at the photo, looks like the condenser and possibly the radiator will be bent / tweaked also. They have a pretty visible radius in the extrusion channels.
