Hallo Stingray427,

DESIGN BACKGROUND
The flex cplg serves several purposes:
First, it isolates and greatly reduces steering system and engine compartment noise from entering the driver compartment.
Second, the rubber disc provides vibration isolation from harsh tire and road feedback.
Third, the flex cplg is used to accommodate the design angle between the steering column and the steering gear input shaft (5 degrees maximum).
Fourth, the flex cplg takes up minor movement of the vehicle body relative to the frame.
Fifth, the flex cplg provides an electrical ground path for the horn.
