Harmonic Balancer

Your vehicle needs balance as much as you do, and a harmonic balancer helps keep your vehicle stable and safe. Harmonic balancers go by many other telling names: crank pulley dampers, vibration dampers, torsional dampers, crankshaft dampers and crankshaft balancers. It is even called a whatchamacallit occasionally, but whatever the name, it is an important part of your vehicle’s engine. Its main function is to connect to the engine’s crankshaft and control vibrations, the bad vibrations that can ruin a smooth ride.

What is a harmonic balancer?

A harmonic balancer keeps your crankshaft from getting, well, too cranky. Harmonic balancers or crankshaft balancers, as both names imply, provides balance. It is attached to the crankshaft in a committed relationship focused on stability. The crankshaft is a major engine component that converts the explosive energy generated from the engine cylinders into the rotational energy that makes your wheels go around. The harmonic balancer has weights mounted on it that counteract the crankshaft’s torsional forces that cause harmonic vibrations. No, these kinds of harmonic vibrations are not a good thing. In addition to protecting the engine from potentially damaging vibrations, the harmonic balancer can also act as a pulley for drive belts that turn the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, air conditioning pump and other devices.

How much is a harmonic balancer?

The price of harmonic balancers varies widely depending on the brand, year, make and model of your vehicle. You can expect to pay between $50 to $500. We have great prices at PartsGeek.com, however, for whatever type of harmonic balancer you need.

How do I know I need one?

When a harmonic balancer starts failing, its relationship with the crankshaft gets shaky. Literally. You usually start to feel engine vibrations that get progressively worse. These vibrations can be particularly strong and dangerous at high speeds, so avoid highways until you can get the part fixed, and do so promptly. A failing harmonic balancer can also result in misaligned timing, dysfunctional engine belts and failing engine accessories. When a balancer fails, it is often due to age, heat, salt and/or degradation of its rubber components. It is important to restore balance as soon as possible. It may be hard to find balance in your general life, but it is easy to get a new balancer at PartsGeek.com.
