An intermediate bearing for a driveline of a commercial vehicle has a housing () with a stirrup-shaped cross-section. The housing () has a fixing face () formed of two straight portions () and a first arched portion (). A bearing member () is arranged between the portions (). The bearing member () is rubber and is connected to the fixing face () by vulcanization. A locking element () bridges the space between the two straight portions (). The locking member () is attached to the bearing member (). The bearing member () encloses a supporting ring () which serves to receive a rolling contact bearing. The locking element () is adjustable for the purpose of setting a pre-tension of the bearing member () towards the longitudinal axis () of the bore () of the supporting ring (). The locking element () can be connected to the housing () after the required pre-tension has been set.
