Apparatus for absorbing and damping deflections of a bearing, comprising: (a) a first support member adapted to be secured to a support structure; (b) a second support member spaced apart from said first suoport member in a first direction; (c) means for securing said second support member to a port

Apparatus for absorbing and damping deflections of a bearing, comprising: (a) a first support member adapted to be secured to a support structure; (b) a second support member spaced apart from said first suoport member in a first direction; (c) means for securing said second support member to a portion of a bearing for movement therewith; and (d) a damping section positioned between and intersecuring said first and second support members, said damping section including: (1) elastomeric means for permitting resilient deflection of said second support member relative to said first support member in a second direction generally perpendicular to said first direction in response to lateral deflection of the secured bearing, and (2) means for maintaining said elastomeric means essentially entirely in a shear stress condition during deflection of said second support member in said second direction relative to said first support member.
