great link DSC.

he said "Contrary to the simplified analysis on the previous page, many people believe that a strut tower bar is predominantly under compression, not tension. "  I never really heard that. I always assumed that a strut tower will flex towards and away from each other depending on how the car is turning and if it hits a dip or a bump on the road.

But I think he/she should take more credit, those aren't mere theories stated on that site, it's well accepted near-fact.
