had a friend pick up a flex coupler for me today from a local shop. I was told it was OE and the price reflected this...$107 + tax. Came in a white bag not a LR box. No biggie-all components are present; 3 bolts, coupler and the pilot bushing. What concerns me is the condition of the rubber. When flexed, hairline tears are clearly visible in the rubber. Should I be worried/return it etc? I know the rubber is pretty dense, kinda like motor mounts and I know the coupler spins more than flex the way I was manipulating it. But I don't want to purchase/install a new coupler that is already tearing. Has anyone noticed this when they bought a new one? Input appreciated as I am installing this when I get off work in the am.
