A cracked or separated rubber ring, vibration felt through the car or belt noise from the front of the engine can mean the engine harmonic balancer is worn. A worn serpentine belt or a weak belt tensioner can produce similar signs, so find the cause before you replace it. The V6 3.0L takes one balancer, mounted on the crankshaft.
