Drive shaft damper assembly

A drive shaft damper assembly operable with a drive shaft bearing which is secured to a drive shaft of a vehicle, said assembly comprising:

• a bearing collar assembly having a collar and a securing mechanism structured to securely attach said collar to the drive shaft bearing,
• said bearing collar assembly comprising a plurality of collar members structured to permit said collar to be positioned around and securely attached to the drive shaft bearing while the drive shaft remains mounted to the vehicle,
• an inner damper assembly interconnected to said bearing collar assembly, said inner damper assembly at least partially defining an inner bushing interface, wherein said inner bushing interface comprises a plurality of spaced apart inner apertures,
• an outer damper assembly structured to substantially encircle said inner damper assembly, said outer damper assembly at least partially defining an outer bushing interface, wherein said outer bushing interface comprises a plurality of spaced apart outer apertures, each of said plurality of spaced apart outer apertures corresponding to a different one of said plurality of spaced apart inner apertures,
• a bushing assembly comprising a plurality of bushing members individually and axially interconnected in an operative engagement between said inner damper assembly and said outer damper assembly, wherein each of said plurality of bushing members comprises oppositely disposed ends dimensioned and at least partially disposed through one of said plurality of inner apertures or one of said plurality of outer apertures, and
• a mounting mechanism structured to securely attach said outer damper assembly to a portion of the vehicle.
