An isolator () has an outer housing () comprising an outer housing bore (), an inner member () received coaxially within the outer housing (), a precompressed compression compliance component (CCC) () disposed between the outer housing () and the inner member (), the CCC () being configured to bias the inner member () in an axial direction, and a precompressed rebound compliance component (RCC) () disposed between the outer housing () and the inner member (), the RCC () being configured to bias the inner member () in an opposite axial direction.

Isolator

Systems and methods are disclosed that include providing an isolating mule shoe having an integrated axial isolator coupled to a landing sleeve of a drill string at an upper end of the axial isolator. The axial isolator includes an elastomeric component that is coupled between a first component and a second component. The first component and the second component are configured to displace axially with respect to one another as a result of a force imparted upon the landing sleeve to provide vibration control.
