Product Details

The harmonic balancer mounts to the crankshaft hub and uses a dampening layer to reduce engine vibration before it reaches the accessory drive. Over time, the isolating material can deteriorate and allow the outer pulley to shift, which can lead to belt misalignment and added stress on the crankshaft and front accessory drive components. ATP Parts 102268 is built as an OE-style replacement to match original fit and function on the listed Hyundai and Kia vehicles.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Crankshaft vibration at idle or under load
• Belt tracking issues caused by pulley movement
• Serpentine belt misalignment
• Noise from a worn or separated balancer
• Front-end accessory drive stress from a deteriorated balancer

Installation Notes

Verify pulley diameter, groove count, and engine application before installation. Confirm the vehicle’s production date and belt configuration, especially on 2006 Kia Optima applications noted with a 9/30/05 cutoff. Inspect the crankshaft snout, belt condition, and adjacent pulleys during replacement, and follow the service procedure for proper balancer seating and torque.

Quality Assurance
