The English phrase strut assembly is translated into Spanish as conjunto de amortiguador.
conjunto de amortiguador is used to describe a strut assembly. In many automotive contexts, mechanics may simply refer to the part as el amortiguador rather than using the full phrase.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of conjunto (assembly/set), de (of) and amortiguador (shock absorber/strut).
Did you know?
- If you hear a mechanic say está reventado, they are saying the amortiguador has 'burst', meaning the seal has failed and fluid is leaking.
- In Spanish, amortiguador is used for both a shock absorber and a strut, whereas English distinguishes the two by whether they support the vehicle's weight.
- The word conjunto is used broadly in Spanish for everything from a musical ensemble to a matching set of clothes.
