Drive shaft Flexjoint/Couplers problems
Hi I'm new to Clublexus. I have the same issue, I just bought an 2008 LS460 found out i needed a new driveshaft flex coupler. Dealer won't sell it separately and I refuse to buy a whole shaft for $1k just to get the coupler. I had search and read lots of forum but was not able to conclude a result. Does anyone know a match up that I can use. Any partnumber would greatly help. Attach is a pic of what I'm looking for.

These are used on many cars, but for whatever reason Lexus doesn't show the part number as a stand-alone from the driveshaft assembly. It looks like there are two of them, one at each end of the driveshaft. You might try to get the bolt circle diameter and sleeve inside diameter of the LS460 part, then match it up to one of the many that are available. These are also called "Guibo Discs".

I believe this if for a LS400. Maybe if you contact Bell Lexus they can help you.

okay, I just got a confirm fit from 1 of the ebay seller and purchasing a complete shaft with coupler for $219. Thanks all for the help. But I have yet one more issue I don't know if I'm suppose to repost or continue on this thread. I lower my car and now I have negative camber I'm still struggling looking for camber kit both front and rear. Need all ur helps again. So please let me know if I have to start a new post. Thanks all.

Best to start a new thread for the camber issue. Otherwise people will not know about it. Many CLers don't read every thread.

These Giubo joints are easy to find for BMW, but not so much for the LS. I replaced them on my 7 Series BMW back in the day and it was a fairly simple job. Im not sure why its so hard to find for the LS. I've searched everywhere for you, but no joy. You shouldn't have to get the entire driveshaft.
