Balancer problems have happened to C5s from time to time. And the C6

as well. It needs to be replaced ASAP. And the upgraded parts should

be used. Some like to pin the new balancer since it`s still pressed

together and can still separate.

I posted a up couple of close up pictures at

http://stephenhorrillo.com/C5_harmonic_balancer.htm. Let me know what you

think. Notice the gap, the cracking rubber and the way it`s pushed in on one

side and hanging out on the other. If you need pictures with a higher

resolution or a movie of it spinning let me know.

Should I replace it? If I just replace the belts should the squeaking stop?

When I spray belt dressing on the main belt the sqeaking stops for a little

while but there`s still a sort of rattleling sound.

Many thanks Dad and everyone,

I`m not sure if that last post went through. I posted a photo of my

allegedly bad harmonic balance. Please take a look and tell me what you

think. http://stephenhorrillo.com/C5_harmonic_balancer.htm

Thanks for your help.

Here’s the story / of Suzy’s Saturn / which was on the market ready to be sold

All the problems it was having / annoyed it’s owner / most of all, that it was old

It’s a story / of a girl named Angela / who was forced to live in her parents’ home

They were three people / living all together / yet they were all alone

Till the one day when Angie met Miss Suzy / Then she knew the Saturn perfectly met her needs

That she wanted to park that car in her driveway / About that time, the Saturn began to overheat
