I just did the 190e's flex disk and no that is not normal. There should not be any movement.

BTW, the driveshaft and flex disks etc movement is one of those sum of the parts: U-joints, flex disks etc including differential gear slop. Ideally all should be snug and not offer any axial movement.

Older cars, from wear, do have some movement.

In the case of the 190e it had reached a point where the drive train clunk was just too much. That is why I replaced it.
