Re: How do i tell if I have a bad Harmonic Balancer

Depends how severe the movement is. Most balancers i see on regular daily driven cars do look like they wobble a little bit, this is normal.

Balancers/dampers have a rubber lining between the outter pulley and the inner hub. Inspect the lining for damage, cracking, etc. Also physically check the balancer for movement with your hands. You may need to loosen or remove the belt to do this. If all of this checks out and the wobble is not severe then your OK.
