Abstract
An automotive driveline component includes a housing and a dampener carried by the housing. The dampener includes a plurality of shims joined together via at least one joint through which vibrations are transmitted among individual shims of the plurality of shims. When the housing experiences vibrations during use of the automotive driveline component, the vibrations are transmitted to the plurality of shims and relative movement among individual shims of the plurality of shims dampens the vibrations experienced by said housing.
