A critical component within the drivetrain that serves as a vibration and torsion damper, the flex joint bolted between the transmission output shaft and the driveshaft can wear significantly over time.
When the unit fails, damage to the underside of the car is unavoidable, and will certainly immobilize the vehicle.
Replacing the propeller shaft flex joint not only protects you from this disastrous prospect, but also greatly reduces driveline noise and harshness.
