A support structure supporting a movable component is provided with a
vibration damper in the form of at least one cavity in the structure, the
cavity being filled with a composite material; preferably a composite
material of about 80% butyl rubber and 20% carbon particles. The
composite material is preferably bonded to the cavity walls by adhesive
or mechanically coupled by a texture on the cavity walls. The rubber
composite may be first moulded then inserted into the cavity or may be
injected into the cavity and moulded by the cavity. The cavities may be
provided with a vent to facilitate insertion or injection of the
composite material.
