Detailed Description

The harmonic balancer mounts to the crankshaft and uses an internal dampening layer to reduce engine vibration while keeping the belt pulley aligned. Over time, the dampening material can deteriorate, allowing the outer ring to shift and creating belt misalignment or crankshaft stress. ATP Parts 102116 is engineered as a direct replacement for the original balancer on compatible Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable vehicles, helping restore normal engine operation and belt tracking. This part cross-references Pioneer Automotive Industries DA-1823 for the same application.
