A wobbling pulley, a cracked or shifted ring, or vibration at the front of the engine can mean the balancer is worn. A loose or worn accessory belt, a failing accessory bearing or a loose crankshaft bolt can produce similar noise and vibration, so pin down the source before you buy a balancer. Each engine takes one, so a single listing covers it.
