Chevrolet Colorado Harmonic Balancer

The Harmonic Balancer in Chevrolet Colorado cars ensures the balancing of engines and also acts as the absorber of shock forces created by combustion. This component is known as a vibration damper and it comprises of a metal hub that is connected to an end of the crankshaft and a thick metal inertia ring and a rubber ring that moves to counter to the twist of the crankshaft. A good harmonic balancer works fine to ensure a smooth operation of the engine while if for some reason the rubber of the harmonic balancer has worn out over time it might cause a lot of vibrations jeopardizing the crankshaft. Years of Chevrolet Colorado have been choosing different types of the harmonic balancers depending on the standard configurations and modifications of the car's engine. While standard balancers come pre-installed with most factory-tuned engines, performance harmonic balancers are manufactured with a myriad of enhanced features owing to their compliance with higher levels of vibrations and RPMs in heavily modified engines. These performance options include: traditional, viscous fluid, and multi-piece ones and all are safety tested at higher RPMs and have additional functions such as, 360-degree timing marks for perfect tuning of the engine.

Each OEM Chevrolet Colorado Harmonic Balancer we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
