1. A method of additively manufacturing a vehicular component with a mounting lug having vibrational damping media (34),
the method comprising:
Additively manufacturing the component including a housing (14) and the mounting lug (12),
wherein additively manufacturing the mounting lug (12) includes encasing a powder in an outer shell of the mounting lug (12);
heating the component to densify solid portions of the component while maintaining the granular structure of the build powder encased in the mounting lug (12); and
finishing a surface of the component.
