In a shaft bearing comprising outer and inner parts with an elastic element carrier disposed therebetween, the elastic element carrier includes first and second elastic elements disposed on opposite radial sides thereof and is movable with respect to one of the outer and inner parts in axial direction and with respect to the other of the outer and inner parts in radial direction, and the elastic elements disposed between the element carrier and the outer, and respectively, the inner parts have selectable elasticities so as to provide for distinct selectible radial and axial resiliencies of the shaft bearing.
