Product Information

135mm diameter, 96mm bolt hole circle, connects the driveshaft to the output shaft of the transmission or input shaft of the differential

The flex disc sits between the driveshaft and transmission. Its main purpose is to allow flex in the drive train and to reduce vibration. It is common for the joint rubber to deteriorate over time from torque stress and heat.

We recommend that this joint should be inspected during regular services on the vehicle for wear. If wear is found we highly recommend that you replace the joint before it fails completely.

Drive Shaft Flex Joint

A drive shaft flex joint kit also known as a guibo or flex disc consists of a flexible rubber disc that connects sections of the drive shaft to absorb vibrations and torque shock. It helps reduce stress on the drive shaft and other drivetrain components by allowing a slight amount of flexibility, which improves smoothness in power delivery from the transmission to the wheels.

Drive Shaft Flex Joint Failure Symptoms
  • Vibrations While Accelerating: A worn or damaged flex joint often leads to increased vibrations during acceleration, as it can no longer absorb torque properly
  • Clunking or Thudding Noises: Loose or deteriorated flex joint material can cause clunking or thudding sounds, especially when shifting gears or accelerating, due to metal components coming into direct contact
  • Uneven or Jerky Acceleration: A failing flex joint disrupts smooth power transfer, causing jerky or uneven acceleration as it loses its ability to flex properly

I don't know how much more HD this part is. But I bought it.
In this year of prices soaring up every week, I am very surprised that this part is over $10 lower than when I bought it in AUG 2021. 105.99 vs. 93.99 I have no idea how this Meyle design makes this part HD, but I bought it anyway. 17 years of age & use, my flex disc was very cracked & chunked out. My first track day prep inspection at home found this. So everyone who owns e46 cars, just go ahead & replace this part - and the center support (with bearing) as well. Necessary PM for sure.
