Do you suffer from poor engine performance? Well, that’s only one of the signs that you need to change your Infiniti harmonic balancer. If your car’s harmonic balancer is bad, your engine’s crankshaft would get stressed out by torsional vibration which would greatly affect the performance of the engine. Every time the fuel/air mixture within a cylinder is ignited, the combustion that results produces a torque spike - a very quick increase in cylinder pressure. This pressure that is applied to the top of the piston becomes the force applied to the engine’s crankshaft via the connecting rod. Every torque spike is akin to a hammer blow. As a matter of fact, it hits with enough intensity not only causing the crankshaft to turn, it actually twists or deflects the crankshaft.
This twisting action plus the resulting rebound is known as torsional vibration. This torsional vibration if not properly controlled, will cause rapid main bearing as well as major journal wear and possible breakage of the crankshaft. This is the reason why a vibration damper or commonly called harmonic balancer exists. Sometimes it is called torsional damper or harmonic damper. Its primary function is to control harmonic vibration. This piece of equipment is connected to the front part of the engine’s crankshaft. The harmonic balancer like your Infiniti harmonic balancer is composed of two elements: an energy dissipating element that absorbs the vibrations and a mass which resists the acceleration of the vibration.
The harmonic balancer is also made up of three parts: a steel outer part which has grooves for the belt, a steel inner part which attaches to the crankshaft and a rubber disk or spring loaded discs, or both, at the center. Now, by thwarting torsional harmonic vibration, your Infiniti harmonic balancer can prevent too much damage on your engine’s crankshaft and on the engine itself. But there is no way for your Infiniti harmonic balancer to protect itself from damages. Sooner or later, the rubber disk of it would wear out and its steel components would get damage. Anyway, there are signs when your Infiniti harmonic balancer needs replacing.
Aside from the one mentioned above, excessive engine vibration, wobble of the balancer or wobble in the drive pulley, failure in the alternator, power steering pump, A/C or water pump, engine that doesn’t run properly when adjusting the timing, irregular idle, and slipping or noisy drive belts are also the signs that your Infiniti harmonic balancer have to go.
