W124, 1995 E320 wagon, new front flex disc failure

Need some advice here..... I replaced the front flex disc on my wife's 1995 E320 wagon about a year ago, and it failed 2 weeks ago........

So, I replaced it again, 2 weeks ago, and it failed today.....

I was an ASE mechanic for over 15 years, so I KNOW that I installed itt correctly, insured that it was properly seated, that it faced the correct way, and tightened it to specs.....

Now, I'm wondering, if the replacement disc that I've been purchasing is not really the front flex disc, but possibly the rear.....Also, I have yet to check the center carrier bearing

Here's is a link to the part that I purchased, hopefully one of the experts on the forum will tell me that it is not the front flex disc that is required (even though it is being sold as the front flex disc)

Also, on another note: My wife says that it appeared to fail when she made a tight right turn, on both occasions

Thanks in advance
