Product Information

LK=110MM/12, connects the drive shaft to the output shaft of the transmission

Drive shaft flex joints, also known as guibo's, are a common wear item on most BMW's. When the flex joint wears out it can allow extra movement in the drive shaft causing all kinds of noises from underneath the car. We recommend regularity inspecting this joint for irregular wear.

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

flex joint
A perfect match to the OEM. Hard to know if these are truly bad but I'd say it's worth doing if you do motor or diff mounts. Nice to know you have a fresh part here. I have a straight drive so this is even more important.
