At the OE level, many of the top manufacturers use a compound rubber joint as their pivot bushing of choice. This is largely due to its durability, vibration damping, and low cost to manufacture.

Our hands are sensitive to frequencies ranging from 200 to 700 Hz, but previous damping techniques — wearing batting gloves, wrapping metal bats with leather and even vibration absorbers like ...

Depending on the car, the most commonly used absorbers are made from rubber or polyurethane, sometimes even liquid-filled for enhanced vibration damping. Without the shock-absorbing interface ...
