A transducer mounting device comprised of a monolith of moldable material overlying and supporting a self-tapping screw at one end for coupling to a target such as a machine casing or bearing housing and a fabricated insert at an opposite end for mating with a monitoring transducer. In a further preferred form a transducer mounting device is comprised of a preform including an internal cavity overlying a magnetic component, an adhesive interposed between the magnetic component and a target such as a machine casing or bearing housing at one end for magnetically and adhesively bonding said preform to the target and a threaded member disposed at an opposite end of the preform for mating with a monitoring transducer.

A method of isolating vibrations which are transferred to a vehicle occupant, the vehicle including a first member pivotally coupled to a second member, the method comprising the steps of: providing a housing adapted to be coupled to the first member; selecting a ball stud, said ball stud adapted to be coupled to the second member; determining a magnitude and a frequency of vibration to isolate; determining a thickness of an elastomeric material based on said magnitude and frequency of said vibration; and placing said elastomeric material between said ball stud and said housing to isolate the vibrations. 7. The method of claim 6 further including the step of molding a bearing seat within said elastomeric material, said bearing seat engaging said ball stud. 8. The method of claim 6 wherein the step of placing said elastomeric material between said ball stud and said housing includes snap fitting said ball stud in a cavity defined by said elastomeric material.
