I believe the wobbly thing you called a strut brace is an engine mount brace (or some such). It's there-with the large link- to force the engine downward in the event of a severe crash.

A true strut brace uses the 3 strut mount nuts to affix. You don't have one of those in your car.

Stiffening the engine brace might get you some of the effect of a strut brace.

Pretty sure I'm right.
