A3462660003 Mercedes-Benz Trucks Bearing

Bearings basically allow parts to move smoothly against each other. Think of them as little rollers, or sometimes even a film of lubricant separating metal surfaces. They reduce friction where things spin or slide. There are lots of different kinds, designed for different loads and speeds, but that’s the basic idea. They can be ball bearings, roller bearings, tapered bearings, needle bearings... it depends on what they're being used for. In your drivetrain, specifically within the gearbox, bearings are everywhere. They support the shafts – that’s what the engine’s power actually goes through to get to the wheels. They keep those shafts centered, stable, and spinning freely. They’re in the gears themselves, allowing them to mesh and turn without grinding everything to bits. Without bearings, those gears would be directly rubbing, creating heat and quickly wearing out. You’ll notice if a gearbox bearing is failing – usually it'll be a whining or rumbling sound, especially as the vehicle's speed changes. Without good bearings, you'd lose power, get a lot of heat build – up, and things would wear out incredibly fast. They protect more expensive parts, really. They’re like a shield preventing metal – on – metal contact. If a bearing goes bad, it doesn’t just strand you—it can quickly cause damage to the gears themselves, the shafts, and even the housing. Replacing a bearing is a lot cheaper than replacing an entire gearbox. You can often find a good selection of gearbox bearings at places like Fixparts Online, and they usually have detailed specs to help you get the right one. The type of bearing is really important, so make sure you match the old one exactly. Confidence in every purchase: Bearing (MPN A3462660003) is covered by a 12-month warranty!
