  • Patent number: 10125838
    Abstract: A vehicle vibration damper assembly may include a bracket, a canister, and steel shot. The bracket is for mounting to an engine compartment rail in mechanical contact with an engine. The canister is mounted to the bracket and defines a cavity. The steel shot is disposed within the canister in an amount selected to reduce an amplitude of a vibration of the engine during operation. The bracket may be mounted to an engine compartment rail. The bracket may be secured proximate an engine compartment rail such that the canister is mechanically connected to the engine. The amount of the steel shot may be such that energy generated by the engine during operation is dissipated into heat energy or impact energy by the steel shot.
