What he said...

There was a person in another Benz site whose flex discs went out on her 300E.

Due to their location if the flex disc goes out while the car is in motion it may cause deployment of the ari bag.

That's a very expensive repair. In my opinion flex discs should be changed, as a matter of course, every so many miles. It is not an expensive reapir and not only does it make the car run smoother (no thunk thunk) but it can also prevent a major repair down the line.

Cheap insurance.
