In a motor vehicle, a strut is arranged between the cowl cross member and the center console cross member. The strut is supported in the cowl cross member on a junction element by way of a holder. The junction element includes a profile element and a structural foam part arranged above the latter, which structural foam part swells as a result of a heat treatment, and a precisely fitting filling-out of the interior of the cowl cross member is achieved.

Body structure for a motor vehicle having forward spring strut receiving devices and method of making same

Vehicle body for a forward vehicle structure of a motor vehicle, including a support structure, a fender support and a fender panel. The fender panel being optionally replaceable by another fender panel, so that a modified course of a joint between a front flap and the fender can be achieved.
