    oh central bearing, it is rubber, even largest can be done in rubber bearings, and there is warning about largest one:

    Parabolic springs with hard springs for rear axles off-road vehicles are designed for capacity of 2x18.0t. They are designed as swingsprings with spacing of 1.45m, springs are required for oversized tyres (14.00R20, 12.00R24, 395/85R20). Because of low spring rate they are used only on the vehicles that are operated under extreme off-road conditions with very high axle weights. Driving safety is clear priority - driving comfort is secondary importance.
    Best possible driving safety and driving stability for the respective transport task in extreme off-road terrain. they come too with rubber

    there are version wih oil bearing too

    The Mack m ride uses conical rubber bushings. Old Rockwell suspensions used tapered bearings/gear oil. US army FMTV 5 tons used setup like m drive with tapered bearings/gear oil.
