OK, so there was a slight ticking sound after i installed a new AC belt in attempt to get that fixed. The sound has slowly gotten louder over the last month or so. After inspecting a bit, i noticed that the crank shaft pulley "Harmonic Balancer" is wobbling and causing the sound. I took my car to a local car shop for them to trouble shoot my AC (which turned out i need a compressor, drier, and evaporator expansion valve..DOH!!) and to take a quick look at the pulley. The mechanic told me to replace my harmonic balancer.
so the question(s) is...Do these really go bad? do they bend or something? a harmonic balancer is a crankshaft pulley right? thanks in advance. casey This post has been edited by caszboy: Jul 14, 2008 - 6:31 PM --------------------  |

so ..let me know if i understand this....
underdrive crank pulleys "make" that problem of those noises..and the shaking..and later maybe( i dont know) some bendings to the crankshaft? but do aftermarket crank pulleys with stock sizes do the same? thnx in advance |
