Mercedes Flex Disc Kit - Meyle 0004110000

Mercedes-Benz Flex Disc 

Within your Mercedes drivetrain are two big rubber rings that connect the drive shaft to the transmission and rear differential. Mercedes uses them to absorb some harshness and vibration to deliver their signature ride and feel. Eventually, they’ll need replacing after they’ve worn out and stopped working as effectively as before.

Worn Mercedes Flex Disc Symptoms

• Cracks in the rubber

• Easily flexed by hand

• Clunks upon initial acceleration

• Vibration from the drivetrain while moving

As the flex disc, also known as a giubo, wears down, you’ll begin to feel it through the drivetrain. The softened rubber flexes significantly, leading to unwanted noises and vibrations as it worsens. You’ll also be able to see the signs of wear should you look underneath the vehicle; the giubo will be cracked around the metal bolt sleeves, if not completely detached from them. 

Meyle HD Mercedes Flex Disc

Meyle is an OE and OEM for almost every European automaker, and their HD sub-brand is responsible for many easy upgrades for owners. The HD products, like this 0004110000 Flex Disc, suitable for a long list of Mercedes models, are designed to be superior to the OE components they replace, thanks to a number of improvements. 

Meyle HD Flex Disc Benefits

• More durable rubber compound

• Improve/revised design for strength

• Same OE fit

• Longer lifespan

Meyle uses its OE products and finds its weak points before having engineers design a superior product. They’re optimized for durability and reliability, though occasionally at the cost of comfort. In this case, the rubber is firmer than the OE flex disc, so acceleration will feel slightly more direct, and the disc will last longer.
