Pioneer Automotive Industries Engine Harmonic Balancer P/N:DA-1818
Tame crankshaft torsional vibration with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Engine Harmonic Balancer DA-18, a direct-fit replacement developed to the OE design for the 2000-2005 Toyota Celica, 2003-2006 Pontiac Vibe, 2003-2006 Toyota Matrix, 2005-2006 Lotus Elise, 2005-2006 Toyota Corolla, and 2006 Lotus Exige — all with the L4-1.8L engine. Mounted on the crankshaft snout, the balancer uses a bonded rubber layer to absorb the twisting pulses produced as each cylinder fires, helping smooth engine operation.
Signs the part may need replacing include a cracked, swollen, or separated rubber ring, a wobbling or off-center outer ring, and engine vibration. If a failed balancer is the cause of these symptoms, this unit replaces it — diagnose the cause before ordering. Manufacturer part number DA-18 (also DA18).
