Transfer Case Countershaft Bearing for Mercedes-Benz G-Class

The FAG 33208 transfer case countershaft bearing is a tapered roller bearing built for applications that need compact packaging and strong load-carrying capacity. It is used in transfer case service where precise shaft support and consistent rotation matter, including Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG and G550 applications.

• Tapered roller bearing design for combined radial and axial load support
• Inside diameter: 1.575 in. / 40 mm
• Outside diameter: 3.15 in. / 80 mm
• Length: 1.26 in. / 32 mm
• Transfer case bearing application for select Mercedes-Benz and Acura vehicles

Application Details

Built under the FAG brand, part number 33208 is a transfer case countershaft bearing used in drivetrain assemblies where shaft alignment and load control are critical. The tapered roller construction helps maintain stable operation in transfer cases, transmissions, differentials, and similar rotating assemblies. This FAG 33208 bearing is listed for 2016-2019 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, 2016-2018 Mercedes-Benz G550, 2016-2017 Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG with MB VG150E transfer case and 2-speed configuration, and 1995-1998 Acura TL front applications.

This part cross-references Four Seasons 33208 and BR33208 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bearing play in the transfer case countershaft
• Noise from worn or damaged tapered roller bearings
• Improper shaft support in drivetrain assemblies
• Reduced smoothness caused by bearing wear or fatigue
• Service needs on Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, G550, and G65 AMG transfer cases

Installation Notes

Verify bearing dimensions before installation: 40 mm inside diameter, 80 mm outside diameter, and 32 mm length. Confirm the transfer case configuration and vehicle application against the listed fitment, especially on Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG models with the MB VG150E transfer case and 2-speed setup. Clean mating surfaces, inspect the shaft and housing for wear, and follow the service procedure for proper bearing seating and preload.

Quality Assurance

FAG manufactures tapered roller bearings for drivetrain and wheel-end use, with production scaled for high-volume OE and aftermarket applications. Part number 33208 is built to the dimensional and load-support requirements expected for transfer case service.
