Default Harmonic Balancer

Hi
How much roughly would it cost to replace a harmonic Balancer on a 2002 corvette. And when should you do it kms wise. Just reading things about it.
Thanks

It’s a while you’re in there job. Doing a cam? May as well. Supercharger? For sure you’re going to want to do it. Stock car I wouldn’t bother with it unless you had to. I’m not sure what you would be charged to do it I've never paid anyone to do it but it’s tight, rack has to be moved. Maybe 3-4 hrs charged at a shop??

My car is stock. Just wanted to know roughly how much time to do. So far all is okay but someone told me I should change it at 90,000 kms.
Thanks

why bother messing with if it is fine.. It won t fly apart on moments notice, you will see a wobble, then would be time to look into it.
