2013 Ford Escape - Harmonic Balancer

Ford Escape Harmonic Balancer

The harmonic balancer on your Ford Escape is found attached to the end of the crankshaft and mounts the crankshaft pulley to drive the engine belts. The harmonic balancer is designed to absorb and prevent the vibrations that the crankshaft naturally produces when the engine is running. Over time, the rubber insulator in the harmonic balancer can deteriorate and break down. Common signs that the harmonic balancer on your Ford Escape may need to be replaced include timing marks on the pulley that are no longer visible, if you can see that the rubber is breaking or pulling away from the balancer rings, or if the engine has a severe vibration. If your Ford Escape needs a replacement harmonic balancer, O'Reilly Auto Parts carries the right harmonic balancer for your SUV as well as the installation and removal tools you need to get the job done.
