Drive shaft

Does anybody know what the difference is between a front and a rear drive shaft flex disc on a C32? I've looked at them both and they look identical, and they both fit the front and back, just was wondering why they sell a front and rear

They are the same. I think they do that so you know to buy 2.

I think MB provides "2" differ #s, as optional of "2" Brands:-

"Lemförder/ZF" or "Meyle"

I thought they were the same, just trying to figure some reasoning behind selling 2 different part #'s, I thought maybe they made the material harder on the differential side and softer on the trans out put, the fronts are always cheaper for some reason: confused:

There are numerous part #'s but they all specify either front or rear on a C32 (front-2304100115) (rear-2034100215) 2002 - 2004
C32 AMG




Position(Qty): Rear (1)

Thank you Insame!
I've went through 5-6 sets of these so far and the last couple times I just bought 2 rears not knowing the difference, I'll buy a front and rear this time.
I'm hoping I've got the issue figured out on why I keep going through them for the last 4 years or so,, 4-5 years ago I changed my motor and trans mounts with some cheaper ones thinking it wouldn't matter, well after changing them my car still shook a lot at a stop, so I figured it wasn't a mount issue that it had to be something else, I never figured it out, well I just put some new Lemforder mounts on recently and Walla the shake issue is gone! I'm thinking the cheaper mounts may have been the reason why I was tearing up so many flex plates so I'm putting a new set on this time hoping for the best, thanks for helping me out!
