Well. I have a 2011 GS that I purchased new. The car has only 19,000 miles on it.
No wobble of the stock balancer, but, in my case, I needed to pin the balancer prior to installing the supercharger awhile ago.
Since pinning the balancer involves just about all the work that replacing the balancer with a new one does, it would have been crazy for me to pin that non-wobbling OEM balancer.
Of course, I ****-canned the stock balancer and replaced it with a 'PowerBond Race Performance' balancer (P/N: PB1117SS) ... and then pinned that.
Had I just pinned the OEM stock balancer, it would have been my luck that it would start wobbling after a short period of time.
Bottom line .... I am very glad I got rid of that OEM balancer 'while the gettin's good' ... I sleep better now
