Detailed Description

Dayco’s Premium OEM Replacement Balancer line focuses on direct replacement fitment for factory-style engine service. The PB1526N harmonic balancer is built for vehicles including 1996-2007 Dodge Caravan, 2001-2006 Chrysler Sebring, 1995-2006 Dodge Stratus, 2000-2003 Chrysler Voyager, 1999-2000 Chrysler Cirrus, 1996-2000 Plymouth Breeze, 1996-2000 Plymouth Voyager, 1996-1997 Dodge Grand Caravan, and 1996-1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager. This part number, PB1526N, is also cross-referenced to ATP 102188 and Dorman 594-212 for the same application.

Use PB1526N when servicing a Chrysler Sebring harmonic balancer, Dodge Stratus harmonic balancer, or Dodge Caravan harmonic balancer application that calls for a neutral-balance, serpentine-drive design. The cast iron outer ring and dual pulley layout support factory accessory drive routing while maintaining the specified crank bore and overall dimensions.

What It Helps Address

• Crankshaft vibration caused by a worn or separated balancer
• Belt tracking issues related to pulley wear or misalignment
• Accessory drive noise from damaged serpentine pulley surfaces
• Engine service concerns when the original balancer no longer holds balance
• Fitment problems on listed Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth 4-cylinder or V6 applications requiring this balancer style

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify crank bore, nose diameter, pulley groove count, and overall width against the original part before installation. This balancer does not include hardware, installation instructions, timing marks, a crank trigger/exciter plate, or a woodruff key, so reuse or source any required related components separately. Confirm accessory belt routing and pulley alignment during reassembly, especially on Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Sebring applications.

Quality Assurance

Dayco’s Premium OEM Replacement Balancer line is built for factory-style replacement service with application-specific dimensions and materials. The PB1526N is manufactured to match the listed fitment and dimensional requirements for direct replacement use.
