944 torque tube bearings have not been available from Porsche or as an aftermarket. Factory new torque tube costs over £3000 which is always too much for 944 as the car price is so low. So this product would be a solution for 944 with worn out torque tube bearings. Bearing could be used in both street and racing. It is used to rebuild any 944 torque tube.

This direct-fit upgraded replacement eliminates the need to purchase an expensive complete propshaft assembly. Instead, simply replace the worn rear flex disc with this high-quality OE Match component, restoring the smooth driveline performance your Porsche was designed to deliver while saving hundreds over replacing the complete shaft.
Manufactured using a durable reinforced rubber body with precision-engineered steel bushings, this upgraded flex disc effectively absorbs drivetrain shock and vibration while transmitting engine torque smoothly through the AWD driveline.
What Does the Flex Disc (Guibo) Do?
The flex disc, also known as the guibo, connects the rear section of the cardan driveshaft to the drivetrain while allowing controlled flexibility during operation.
Its primary functions include:
- Transmitting engine torque from the gearbox to the driveshaft.
- Absorbing driveline shock loads. Reducing drivetrain vibration.
- Minimising transmission noise.
- Compensating for slight driveline movement.
- Protecting the transmission, differential and propshaft from excessive stress.
- Delivering smooth power transfer through the AWD system.
Without a correctly functioning flex disc, excessive vibration and driveline shock can rapidly accelerate wear of surrounding components.
Why Do Flex Discs Fail?
The flex disc operates under constant torsional load and is exposed to significant heat and drivetrain movement. Over time, the rubber element naturally deteriorates.
Common causes include:
- Age-related rubber degradation.
- Repeated torque loading.
- Heat from the transmission and exhaust system.
- Oil contamination. High mileage.
- Aggressive driving.
- Hard launches.
- General material fatigue.
Eventually the rubber develops cracks, loses flexibility and allows excessive movement within the driveline.
Symptoms of a Worn Flex Disc
A failing flex disc commonly causes:
- Clunking noises when accelerating or changing gear.
- Driveline vibration.
- Knocking during take-off.
- Excessive drivetrain movement.
- Jerky power delivery.
- Visible cracks in the rubber coupling.
- Deteriorated rubber around the metal bushes.
Replacing the flex disc before complete failure helps prevent damage to the propshaft, differential and transmission.
When Should the Flex Disc Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended whenever:
- Cracks appear in the rubber body.
- Driveline vibration develops.
- Clunking noises occur during acceleration or gear changes.
- The propshaft is removed for servicing.
- During clutch or transmission work.
- High mileage vehicles are undergoing preventative maintenance.
- Excessive movement is detected during inspection.
Replacing a worn flex disc restores smooth drivetrain operation and protects expensive AWD transmission components.
Why Choose This Upgraded OE Match Flex Disc?
Unlike replacing the complete propshaft assembly, this upgraded OE Match flex disc provides a cost-effective repair while maintaining OE fitment and performance.
Benefits include:
- Direct-fit replacement.
- Upgraded reinforced construction.
- High-strength rubber compound.
- Precision steel bushings.
- Excellent vibration isolation.
- Smooth torque transmission.
- Significant cost saving over complete driveshaft replacement.
- OE-quality fit and reliability.
