Abstract
A brake assembly apparatus is provided for a vehicle braking system. The brake assembly apparatus comprises a vibration damping sleeve for damping vibration between a first braking component and a second braking component. The sleeve includes (i) a first set of spring elements projecting toward a circumferential surface of the first braking component and tuned with a first preload against the circumferential surface of the first braking component, and (ii) a second set of spring elements projecting toward a circumferential surface of the second braking component and tuned with a second preload against the circumferential surface of the second braking component. The first and second sets of spring elements cooperate to damp vibration of certain frequencies between the first and second braking components based upon the first and second preloads.
