Automotive intermediate shaft transmission arrangement

An automotive intermediate shaft transmission arrangement comprising:

• a rotatably and floatingly supported intermediate shaft body which supports an external input toothing and an external output toothing rotationally fixed,
• wherein the input toothing is oppositely angled with respect to the output toothing so that the resulting axial forces act in opposite directions with respect to each other,
• wherein the intermediate shaft body is exclusively supported by a plurality of floating radial rolling bearings,
• wherein two longitudinal ends of the intermediate shaft body are respectively axially supported by an axial bearing,
• wherein outer rings of two of the plurality of floating radial rolling bearings are respectively defined by a sheet metal outer ring,
• wherein running surfaces of the axial bearings formed as rolling bearings are each defined by a sheet metal body,
• wherein each axial bearing is arranged between a first sheet metal body and a second sheet metal body,
• wherein each second sheet metal body is arranged between a respective axial bearing and a respective longitudinal end of the intermediate shaft body,
• wherein each second sheet metal body includes a first flange, a second flange opposite the first flange, and an intermediate portion between the first and second flanges,
• wherein the first flange extends axially along the intermediate shaft body,
• wherein the intermediate portion extends radially along the respective longitudinal end of the intermediate shaft body, and
• wherein the second flange extends axially away from the intermediate shaft body.
