Corteco 21652255 Drive Shaft Flex Joint Disc Giubo Guibo OEM 26111227410

The Corteco 21652255 is an OEM-quality drive shaft flex joint — commonly known as a giubo (also spelled guibo or flex disc) — engineered as a direct replacement for BMW OEM part number 26111227410. This flexible rubber driveline coupling is a critical component in rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive BMW drivetrains.

Located between the transmission output shaft and the front of the driveshaft, the flex disc acts as a vibration dampener and flexible coupling, absorbing driveline shock during gear changes, acceleration, and deceleration while allowing a limited degree of angular misalignment between components.

Key Features:

• OEM Replacement: Direct replacement for BMW OEM part number 26111227410
• 6-Bolt Design: Features a 6-hole bolt pattern with approximately 78mm bolt hole circle diameter and 135mm overall disc diameter

• OEM-Grade Fitment: Manufactured by Corteco, a Freudenberg Group company and recognized OEM supplier to major European automakers
• Direct Bolt-On Replacement: Designed for precise fit and function matching original factory specifications

Common Failure Symptoms:
