Warm weather and flex discs. (E430 4matic)
Things are warming up here finally, and I'm wondering, is flex disc slop going to be more pronounced in warmer weather?

I would think so because of how soft the rubber compound is, but if there is any slop I would be concerned. Have you inspected it visually? are there small cracks forming around each bolt hole?

Yes. That is the proper term for it

The giubo is made from flexible synthetic rubber and is designed to allow some angular misalignment while reducing driveline vibration in mechanical power transmission applications.
