Noticed balancer has a slight wobble
Changed lower belt (a/c) and never noticed before and after installing belt and looking for any problems noticed the harmonic balancer has a slight wobble. Is this a concern, normal, or what ????
Any help.
Thanks

I'm having the same issue. Apparently they all wobble slightly. If it wobbles too much it can come off and cause major problems. The question is how much is too much. I'm going to video mine, and see if I can get any expert advice.

Seeing the age of the car, I wouldn't wait. Either fix it or get it fixed, because if it comes off it can do quite a bit of damage not to mention that is probably not now performing its primary function, which is damping out the crankshaft harmonics.
