Italian term or phrase: barre anti-avvicinamento tra i duomi-ammortizatori
Hello everyone,

I am having some troubles translating the following phrase:

"una serie di barre antiavvicinamento normalmente usate solo tra i duomi-ammortizzatore".

The context is a MacPherson suspension system of a racing car.
Barre antiavvicinamento = strut bars? track rods?
Duomi ammortizzatore = shock domes? shock heads? shock cups?

Thanks a lot!

Explanation:
Strut Tower Brace or Strut Bar

See : http://www.formula1-dictionary.net/strut_brace.html
One of the best decisions you can make would be to install front and rear strut brace. What is a strut brace? Simply put, a strut brace is a simple metal bar (or carbon fiber, if you are into that exotic, ultra-expensive range of parts) bolted to the top of two opposing strut towers, which is used to horizontally brace the frame of the car.

The strut tower is the mounting point for the top of the shock absorber, and it is directly connected to the vehicles chassis. By using the brace to attach the left and right strut towers together, you are adding on to the frame rigidity except you are doing it from the top, instead of the bottom as you would with a sway bar.

They're using a series of braces (strut bars) instead of just the one normally used between the towers.

You can see some of the multiple bars people come up with in some of the pics here: https://www.google.com/search?q=series of strut braces&tbm=i...
