What is this rubber piece in front of front flex disk?
I was under the car trying to inspect the front flex disc under my 2008 E350 today and i noticed that there is this circular rubber disk in front of the flex disc and it is badly cracked. What is this part and is it important?

Thank you for the response, is the front coupler just an older style of the flex disk? I purchased the new part number but it looks like the same style as the rear flex disc.

Current front part 0004110100 is modified, details of which unknown. EPC notes old part must no longer be installed.

Is there any way to confirm that the vibration damper comes off and is not replaced after installing 0004110100 ?
Additionally would anyone know how hard it is to take off the vibration damper?

You are asking about harmonic balancer?
Those have huge bolt with monster torque and MB makes special holding tool for balancer.
Once you fit 4-6 foot extension pipe - you will do it.
