Chevrolet Caprice Harmonic Balancer
The Harmonic Balancer in Chevrolet Caprice cars is responsible for balancing the engine as well as absorbing vibrations which arise from combustion. This component, also known as a vibration damper, is comprised of a metal hub bolted to the crankshaft, an inner metal inertia ring and an outer rubber ring that oscillates to oppose the twisting produced by the crankshaft. A properly working harmonic balancer helps in proper running of an engine, whereas, wearing away of rubber due to its aging or other effects such as physical or chemical injuries can cause very high level of vibration which may even affect the crankshaft. Chevrolet Caprice manufactures have used several types of the harmonic balancers ranging from original factory ones to performance ones throughout the model's existence. Whereas conventional balancers are prescribed for factory-engine ratings, performance harmonic balancers are for upgraded engines, shielding more complicated dynamics and elevated rpm vibrations. These performance options include conventional, high viscosity, and multi-lobe patterns which are safety tested at high RPM and which have other attributes as 360 degrees crankshaft timing provision.
Each OEM Chevrolet Caprice Harmonic Balancer we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part.

Chevrolet Caprice Harmonic Balancer Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to Remove and Install a Harmonic Balancer in V8 engine on Chevrolet Caprice?A:If the engine has been removed from the car, disregard the following steps which do not apply. Loosen the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor as required to relieve tension on the drive belts. Remove the cooling fan and the radiator shroud. Take off the drive belts, noting the installed positions of each. Remove the fan pulley from the water pump shaft and the accessory drive pulley from the harmonic balancer, then take out the harmonic balancer retaining bolt at the center. Install a special harmonic balancer remover to the balancer and carefully draw it off the Crankshaft, ensuring not to drop it as it breaks free; avoid using a common gear puller to prevent separating the outer portion of the balancer from the inner hub, and use only a puller that bolts to the inner hub. Before installing the harmonic balancer, coat the front cover seal area on the balancer with engine oil. Position the balancer over the key on the crankshaft, ensuring the balancer key way aligns with the key. Using a harmonic balancer installer, draw the balancer onto the crankshaft, distributing the draw evenly around the inner hub. Remove the installation tool and install the harmonic balancer center retaining bolt, torquing to specifications. Follow the removal procedure in reverse order for the remaining components.
