Product Information
Drive Shaft Flex Joint Kit
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 Kit 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
