ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a vibration damping apparatus for steering systems. The vibration damping apparatus of the present invention includes a fluid-filled chamber which is provided between upper and lower shafts, an upper actuating member which has a female bladed part disposed in the fluid-filled chamber, and a lower actuating member which has a male bladed part disposed in said fluid-filled chamber. Thus, the vibration damping apparatus of the present invention effectively interrupts the transmission of vibrations from the steerable wheels of an automotive vehicle the steering wheel, thereby optimizing driving comfort and safety.
