Harmonic Balancer

[Art G]

Well...I don't understand why the pressed in rubber between the ring and the balancer give out so quickly at 62,000 miles and the serpentine belt came off. :angry: I'm glad it did not damage anything. Cost of dealer repair: $150 plus towing, aggrevation and frustration: $200, lovin my ST: priceless.

150.00 for the total reapir... That is not too bad actually.



Very fortunate that nothing else got damaged...

Artstang...they should last the life of the car. It probably had a defect in it.

That is what I suspected. I've seen this pressed in rubber last a long time, but this one didn't. Just caution others to watch out for this. If you see the pulley attached to hamonic balancer woobling, it's time to take a look.

It is not a common failure,,,



Probably a good thing as it can be devastating when they fail.

That is a good price installed. 2yrs ago I had to replace the one on my '94 302 stang. Cost was $100+tax. Doing the work myself.

You're lucky you didn't trash the motor.
