A component assembly of a propulsion system includes a component housing having a plenum configured to receive a pressurized gas flow of the propulsion system. The component assembly also includes a lug integrally formed with the component housing, a lug base region including a vent hole forming a gas path between the plenum and an interior of the lug, and a pin. The pin is configured to be positioned within the interior of the lug, where a cavity is formed between an interior surface of the lug and an exterior surface of the pin as positioned within the lug, thereby forming a compressed gas layer to reduce vibration of the pin within the cavity based on the pressurized gas flow passing from the plenum through the vent hole into the cavity.
