• a component housing portion (40);
• and
• an anti-vibration arrangement (34) comprising:
• an interior component cavity (36) formed in the component housing portion (40) and having inwardly facing cavity wall surface (38);
• a vibration absorber portion (52) disposed within the component cavity (36) and comprising:
• a vibration absorbing mass (54) suspended within the component cavity (36);
• and
• at least one resilient suspension member (62) connecting the vibration absorbing mass (54) to the component housing portion (40);
• and
• an oscillating space (68) located between the vibration absorber portion (52) and the inwardly facing cavity wall surface (38), wherein:
• the component housing portion (40), the vibration absorbing mass (54) and the at least one resilient suspension member (62), are integrally formed together to have unitary one-piece construction;
• and
• the oscillating space (68) is filled with a viscous fluid;
• and
• the vibration absorbing mass (54) is connected to the component housing portion (40) only at the at least one suspension member (62).
