OEM 26-11-1-229-065 Driveshaft Flex Disc Guibo Joint

The OEM 26-11-1-229-065 is a genuine BMW driveshaft flex disc, also known as a guibo joint, designed to connect driveline components while reducing vibration and allowing for angular misalignment. This flexible rubber coupling is located between the transmission output flange and the driveshaft, providing smooth power transfer and minimizing drivetrain vibration.

Key Features:

• Genuine OEM BMW part for precise fit and reliable performance
• Flexible rubber and metal construction absorbs vibration and drivetrain shock
• Reduces driveline noise and harshness for a smoother ride
• Direct replacement for BMW part number 26-11-1-229-065
• Cross-references with 26-11-1-227-690 and 26-11-2-228-781

Over time, the rubber in flex discs deteriorates from torque stress and heat exposure, causing cracks, tears, and separation. A worn flex disc creates clunking noises, vibration, and delayed power transfer. Regular inspection during maintenance is recommended to check for heat cracking or rubber deterioration. Replacing a failed flex disc before it causes additional damage helps prevent costly repairs and drivetrain failure.

Application Note: This flex disc is designed for BMW models with automatic transmissions and flex disc-type driveline connections. Not compatible with CV joint-type connections. Commonly used on E34 540i, E38 7-Series (740i, 740iL, 750iL), E39 540i, E31 840Ci, and Z8 models.
