I noticed this problem last week. It started with squeaking belts and that's when I noticed the wobble.

I got a quote from one dealer for $750.00. Tomorrow I am going to find out if I can get it done for less. I HATE DEALERS. Can't trust them.

C6 guys are having the same problem GM issued aTSB that calls for installing a diamond encrusted washer betwwen the bolt head and the balancer wonder if this would be a good fix for the C5.
