At aboot 9 min in if you look closely you can see where the metal outer ring is already trying to break loose from the rubber on the inside. That part should have been replaced. It wasn't an OEM balancer, that was a Dorman replacement part. Would be interesting to know how many miles was on it prior to this removal. I do feel for the owner as the timing chain tensioners and chain maintenance will be a costly affair. Also, the factory 4.0 balancers are really bad to toss the metal ring towards the engine leaving the belt to run on the rubber looking like it's double sheaved. The metal outer ring will then cut into the crank position sensor and cause poor running and eventually a crank no start situation.. I'm having to replace the balancer on my 04 Sport Track for this reason before it gets into a no crank situation.

If you have a bad harmonic balancer you’ll hear rattle. It will go away and come back periodically. That how o found mine. Rubber inside rotted off and spun inside.

Hey I have a jaguar xj6 1995 my ex mechanic....welded the harmonic balancer to the pully. So the wheel with the teeth ....why in the hell would someone do that... I cant understand can u possibly shed some light on this.

[@w3r3cow]

I knew a dude that welded the harmonic balancer back on the 307 Chevy Small block in his pickup cause he was tired of putting it back on so many times!! Worked out good till they guy he sold it to (another buddy of mine) wanted to replace the front seal on it and discovered the welded balancer. He then found someone else to sell it to!!!

[@sharpcarco]

That’s fucked up… but it is what it is

[@cjcoolmoed]

I find it hard to believe “rust” makes a difference after its bolted down. Your fixing a reinstall part after its already bolted down. Rust won’t push a bolt out to cause an issue. It’s localized after the fact.

[@sharpcarco]

On the reluctor ring not on the bolt….

[@cjcoolmoed]

@@sharpcarco so rust on the reluctor ring can cause issues after it’s bolted on. Like a counter balance. Making it wobble after it’s bolted down?

[@Bongobuddconner]

You are alone in the parking lot! Take off your mask!
Once I notice it is wabbling how long do I have?

[@sharpcarco]

Well if I was wearing the mask because of Covid you may have a very valid point there...... well I guess technically I am wearing the mask because of Covid my dog ate my false teeth and I couldn’t get any new ones now I’m just broke because of Covid, ........ 😂😂😂 , No government money for Clay boy

[@Bongobuddconner]

That's funny! All the best to you, my balancer just started wobbling ... Do I have to change it right away or can I get a few more hundred miles before I do it!

[@successfulfaith7320]

That's funny ,funny ,funny...🤡 He must be a Democrat.! 🐏🐏

[@sharpcarco]

Well it would be best to change it as soon as possible because it could cause internal damage to the engine sorry I forgot to answer you before I apologize

[@sharpcarco]

I doubt anyone in this Thread is a Democrat.......

[@OffendingTheOffendable]

Probably just because it's an exploder

[@94SexyStang]

Yes, because explorers are the Only vehicle that uses a harmonic balancer.......this definitely Doesn't happen on ANY other vehicles..........HEAVY sarcasm.
