A shaft suspension system has a rigid inner ring designed for receiving a shaft bearing, a rigid outer ring surrounding the inner ring with radial clearance, a resilient connecting member bridging the clearance between inner ring and outer ring, and a bearing support which extends about the outer ring and includes lugs for fastening it to the bottom of a motor vehicle. The bearing support is composed of a support plate on which the lugs are formed, a loop and an elastomer member in which the loop is embedded. The loop is made from one or several strands of steel wire or yarns of natural or synthetic fibers, suspended from the support plate and extends about a part of the outer ring. This suspension results in a specifically good structure-borne noise insulation and allows axial movements of the suspended shaft which may occur, for example, on a vehicle running on a rough road.
