An insert damper for assembly in a tubular drive shaft (14) of a motor vehicle includes a tubular sleeve (18), a helically wound, resiliently deformable wiper (20) secured to the sleeve, and a corrugated winding (42) secured to the sleeve. The wiper includes an arcuate bead (30) in the form of an arch that spans mutually spaced supports (34,36). The insert damper is sized to fit in the bore of the drive shaft such that the bead frictionally engages the surface of the bore and secures the insert in place within the shaft with a resilient press fit. The bead projects radially outward toward the bore beyond the radially outer surface of the winding. |
