Abstract
A multi-part vibration isolating fastener assembly includes a bolt having a threaded shank and a head about which a sleeve and resilient grommet are disposed. A cup washer is disposed about and captured axially on the grommet to provide a unitized assembly. The integrated cup washer defines a self-contained cup-shaped socket to provide proper support and containment for the grommet in applications where the usual cup-shaped grommet wall is lacking in the components to be assembled, such as a valve cover, and cylinder head.
