Crank hub
Crank hub I'm having a hard time with this one. I had a pretty bad wobble on my harmonic balancer. I replaced it, and there's still a small wobble. I think I have to replace the hub. My question is.. where the heck do I find it?
I've checked ebay and my local part stores. I found two online. One is keyed, and my balancer is not. The other one looks kind of odd and is also keyed..
Any ideas?

I haven't messed with the hub yet. Just the pulley. I didn't use a hammer when I installed that. Kind of afraid to use a hammer on it actually.
I'd love to find a hub hat doesn't have the key on it. Otherwise I wasted money buying this balancer.

If I'm reading it right, you're asking about the HUB not the damper. I have the same one that you have pictured. I bought it from jegs and it has been GREAT. I too had wobble. I replaced the damper and still had wobble so I bought the Jegs hub and have never had a problem since. For me, the key was a bonus, it insures it won't spin on the crank.
Edit: I can't remember for sure but I think I just pulled that little tit out.

Oh alright. I'm gonna remove the balancer tomorrow and reinstall it with new bolts and loctite and run it without the belt to see if it wobbles. If it does, I'll go from there. What I'm seeing I think might be from the belt.
No. The pulley itself is not a balancer - it's a damper. LT1s are internally balanced in the front and externally balanced in the rear from the factory. Is your vibration related to RPM or MPH?
