Product Details

This Dorman harmonic balancer, part number 594-228, is built to restore proper crankshaft vibration damping in engines that rely on a serpentine belt setup. The 40.5 mm inside diameter, 179.2 mm outside diameter, and 110 mm depth support a precise OE-style fit, while the rubber isolator helps reduce vibration transfer through the crankshaft assembly. The included degree markings can assist with timing checks during service. This part cross-references ATP 102249 for the same application.

Compatible With select make/model applications where Dorman 594-228 is specified, including vehicle service searches for harmonic balancer replacement, engine vibration repair, and crankshaft pulley service. Use Dorman 594-228 when replacing a worn balancer on the correct engine application, including searches such as Dorman 594-228 harmonic balancer replacement and engine harmonic balancer for select make/model applications.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Engine vibration felt through the crankshaft or accessory drive
• Rubber bond deterioration in the original balancer
• Timing reference wear or unreadable degree markings
• Crankshaft pulley imbalance concerns during engine service
• Noise or harshness from a failing harmonic balancer assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application, crankshaft snout dimensions, and belt system before installation. Inspect the Woodruff key, crankshaft keyway, and mating surfaces for wear or damage, and confirm the balancer seats fully before final torque. Because this part includes degree markings, align timing references carefully during installation and follow the vehicle service procedure for the specific engine.
