Harmonic Balancer Bad????
Anyone have experience with a harmonic balancer going bad? I seem to have a low RPM vibration that I can feel through the steering wheel. It seems to go away as I rev the engine a little bit. The DIC is not posting any errors and the car runs great other then the annoying vibration. Does this sound like a symptom of a bad balancer? When I look at it with the car running I dont really see any problems with it. It seems to be running straight and true with maybe the tiniest bit of wobble.....but very hard to even see that. What else could possibly cause this? Thanks for looking.

update to low rpm vibration
Well I put a new set of plugs and plug wires on today and I will be darned.....the low rpm vibration went away. The old ones were pretty worn so it must of been running a little out of wack on a cylinder or two...not enough to cause a miss or throw a code but enough to make it run a little rough. Maybe someone else can benefit by this if they are feeling the same thing.
