VW Touareg Driveshaft Flex Disc and Center Bearing Kit

This kit is the two rubber wear parts on the first-generation Touareg and Cayenne rear propshaft: the flex disc (guibo) that bolts the shaft to the transfer case, and the center support bearing with its bracket. The listing cross-references VW 7L0521403, 7L0521102E, 7L0521102M, 7L0521102N, 7L6521102H, 7L6521102J, 7L6521102M, 7L6521102N, 7L6521102P, 7L6521102Q and Porsche 95542101000 and 955 421 020 series numbers.

Listed fitment: 2003-2010 VW Touareg AWD and 2003-2010 Porsche Cayenne AWD.

The flex disc cracks between its bolt holes and the center bearing rubber splits with age and heat. Symptoms are a clunk when you shift into drive or reverse, a shudder on take-off, and a vibration that starts around highway speed. Look at the flex disc with the truck on a lift: if you see cracks or the rubber has pulled away from the metal sleeves, it is done. If the CV joints on your shaft are still tight, this kit is the cheaper repair compared to a complete shaft.

Bench notes: mark the shaft before you take it apart so it goes back in the same phase, support the shaft at the center joint so it does not fold, and use new bolts and nuts on the flex disc.
