InWhatGear said:What exactly goes wrong with the balancer that makes it vibrate?
Does it start to loosen itself from the crankshaft, or something? What should I be looking for when I check it.
The rubber on the inside of the ballancer starts to come out, thus throwing off the ballance of the ballancer and causeing a vibration. Sometimes the ballancers get so bad they shake them selves apart and in some cases can cause motor damage.
