so I was looking over my GXP today to make sure I will pass inspection next week and noticed something that threw a red flag to me. at idle my crank pulley looks to have a pretty noticeable wobble while turning. checked with a bar to see if it moved while the engine was off and nothing. the engine runs smooth as silk and has no vibrations... anyone have a clue? or anyone else had this happen as well?

Not sure but I found a couple of similar older posts so it could be common. Video on Youtube.

Time to replace. Really easy job to do provided the right tools. Should take no more than a hour to be honest

I thought I read that bolt has to be torqued to 240ft lbs. That has to be a mother unless that motor is out. That is standing on a pipe torque.

Have the car high enough with a pipe it's easy that extra tty portion will kill you though lol

well the stock one is like 180 on rock auto... I wouldn't imagine they make a performance one that's maybe lighter or more durable. is that a good price for a balancer?

Just google that part number and check eBay as well , you are supposed to replace that balancer bolt as well.
