    Hello everyone, sorry if this question had been asked already, but my balancer on my GXP has a wobble. I am wondering how much of a concern this is. I've have the car for almost a year now, roughly 11 months and put around 11,000 miles on it, the wobble has been there since I got it. Car has around 158k, car runs fine, no belt slipping or squeaks. Is this something I need to get changed soon or is it not a big concern? Thanks in advance.

    Well, I would change it.

    I don't care if you put 100k on it and it still wobbled.

    It shouldn't wobble.

    Put a new one on.

    Yep. Mine was wobbling. I read up where some people said they left theirs for years and it was fine. I have never personally seen one that wobbled and lasted long on other engines so I replaced mine.
