Anhui Lianjun Rubber Technology Co., LTD. manufactures Custom Mercedes-Benz Drive Shaft Support Bearing as part of our focused NVH rubber damper program for Mercedes-Benz and BMW chassis systems. Our Ningguo facility covers 13,000 square meters and supports nearly 1,000 product specifications across engine mounts, transmission mounts, strut mounts, bushings and driveshaft support bearings. For procurement managers and plant engineers sourcing replacement center support bearings, we supply OE-matched configurations for T1/T2, W124, W201, W210, W202, Sprinter, Viano/Vito, SL R230 and later Mercedes-Benz platforms.
Our drive shaft support bearing range addresses the full drivetrain support requirement: center support bearings, bridge bearings, hanging bearings and rubber-metal bonded assemblies. Each configuration is developed around the specific Mercedes-Benz chassis geometry, load path and NVH target rather than as a generic aftermarket substitute.
Product Range and Model Coverage
We manufacture drive shaft support bearings across the Mercedes-Benz passenger car, commercial van and light truck platforms. The range includes center support bearings for multi-piece propeller shafts, front and rear bridge bearings, and rubber-damped hanging bearings for high-vibration commercial applications.

Engineering and Material Selection
Each Mercedes-Benz drive shaft support bearing we produce combines a high-strength alloy housing with a rubber-to-metal bonded damping element. The bearing assembly is designed to support the propeller shaft at its intermediate mounting point, controlling radial and axial movement while isolating drivetrain vibration from the chassis.
- Alloy housing: High-strength alloy material provides resistance to high temperatures, wear and corrosion under continuous drivetrain load.
- Rubber damping element: The bonded rubber section absorbs high-frequency vibration and reduces noise transmission during high-speed shaft rotation.
- Sealed design: Integrated sealing prevents external contaminants from entering the bearing race, reducing internal wear and extending service life.
- Load capacity: Configurations are matched to the specific Mercedes-Benz platform's drivetrain torque and shaft mass requirements.
Our R&D center focuses on rubber compound formulation and bonding integrity for NVH applications. The rubber-to-metal bond is a critical quality point—we control the adhesive system, molding temperature and cure cycle to achieve consistent bond strength across production batches.
Application Fit Across Mercedes-Benz Platforms
The drive shaft support bearing range is organized around Mercedes-Benz chassis families rather than generic dimensions. This platform-based approach ensures that each bearing matches the original mounting interface, bolt pattern and shaft diameter for the target vehicle.
Commercial applications: T1/T2, Sprinter 906, T2/LN1/LK/LN2 and Viano/Vito W639 bearings are configured for higher continuous load and extended duty cycles. These units use reinforced rubber compounds and larger bearing elements to handle commercial vehicle shaft dynamics.
Passenger car applications: W124, W201, W210, W202, W203, SL R230 and later platforms use bearings tuned for lower NVH thresholds and refined ride characteristics. The rubber durometer and damping profile are adjusted per platform.
For complete drivetrain NVH coverage, we also supply the related Mercedes-Benz Driveshaft Flex Disc range, which works in conjunction with the center support bearing to manage shaft alignment and vibration isolation.
Configuration and Customization Approach
We configure each drive shaft support bearing around the customer's OE reference, target vehicle platform and production volume. Our R&D team can provide customized services for different molds to meet diverse matching needs.
- OE number matching: We cross-reference the customer's OE part number against our existing tooling database to identify the correct configuration.
- Custom mold development: For new platform requirements, our R&D center develops dedicated tooling and validates the rubber compound and bonding process.
- Sample validation: Free samples are provided for dimensional verification, fitment testing and NVH evaluation before production commitment.
- Batch consistency: Production parameters are locked after sample approval to maintain consistent rubber durometer, bond strength and dimensional tolerance across batches.
Quality Assurance and Acceptance Testing
Our quality control system is established according to ISO and CE standards. Anhui Lianjun Rubber Technology holds ISO9001 quality management system certification and IATF 16949 certification for automotive production.
- Incoming material inspection: Alloy housing material and rubber compound batches are verified before production release.
- In-process control: Bonding integrity, dimensional checks and visual inspection are performed at defined production stages.
- Final acceptance: Each batch is checked for dimensional conformance, rubber hardness and bond strength before packaging.
- Traceability: Production batch records link each bearing to its material lot and process parameters.
