I got them used from someone here on the forum and they were on my car almost 2 years. The other day I blew a fuse for my headlights, and popped the hood. My car was still running, and I noticed that the Harmonic Balancing pulley was wobbling a decent amount. I dont know when it started, but it didn't look good. I brought it to my friends house so we could all take a look at it.
his dad who is a mechanic and brother who rebuilds engines and just about anything on a car both recommended that I not drive any further with a pulley that wobbled at idle. We tested it at 2500rpms and the pulley balances out at that rpm, but at idle they said could do damage. It is the rubber ring around the center of the pulley that is peeling and flaking away.
I dont know what could have caused it, but I called Steeda 3 times and finally just had to order a whole new set of UDP's. There customer service isnt the best, as the guy was accusing me of not knowing how to install the pulleys and saying I was wrong from not buying them new... Whatever.
Has anyone ever heard of a harmonic balaner pulley going bad from an aftermarket place?
oh and my car is out of commision until sunday! :happyhapp
