Abstract
A caliper housing having a) an inboard side; b) an outboard side distanced from the inboard side so that a rotor gap is formed between the inboard side and the outboard side; c) a bridge structure which extends from both the inboard side and the outboard side over the rotor gap and connects the inboard side with the outboard side; d) a damper bore passing through the caliper housing from the inboard side into the bridge structure; and e) a mass damper residing within the damper bore; wherein the mass damper is adapted to dampen vibrations occurring during use of the caliper housing.
