Looking under the car the other day. That Flex Joint has cracks in it. Certainly not all the way through but almost like dry rot stress marks.

I never see any threads on this part. What are some symptoms (other then visual) that would point me to replacing this part?

I have a slight chatter, not even a chatter just a little bounce when I just start off from a complete stop (M47 manual trani). I'm not sure if it's rear bushing time again or if maybe there is a slight Wind-up of this rubber Flex Joint. This 'bounce' seems more pronounced when there is more weight in the car.
