Hi all. Wonder if you could help me with the English translation of this term. It's from a comparative list of characteristics of a Toyota vs. a Nissan vehicle. The original reads:
SISTEMA DE SUSPENSION
TOYOTA: SUSPENSION A MUELLES (SOPORTA MAYOR PESO) NISSAN: SUSPENSION A ESPIRAL (MENOR PESO)
I understood muelles to be springs, but then I see that there are different kinds of springs: leaf and coil. Not sure if that is what this is referring to and, if so, which (muelles or espiral) is which.
Thanks very much. (By the way, this is from Latin America, for the US.)
