Dorman 594-768 Harmonic Balancer

Dorman 594-768 is a direct replacement engine harmonic balancer for select Hyundai and Kia applications. It uses a stress-resistant rubber bond to help absorb engine vibration, while ductile steel construction adds tensile and impact strength for long-term durability.

Key Features

• Direct replacement harmonic balancer for OE-style service
• Stress-resistant rubber bond helps isolate engine vibration
• Ductile steel construction for added strength and durability
• Serpentine belt drive with 9 pulley grooves
• Black finish with degree markings for timing reference
• Keyway design for proper crankshaft indexing
• Inside diameter: 27.8 mm; outside diameter: 148 mm; depth: 30 mm

Detailed Description

This Dorman harmonic balancer, part number 594-768, is built for select Hyundai Santa Fe, Tucson, Veloster N, Sonata, Veloster, Santa Fe Sport, and Kia Sportage, Stinger, Sorento applications. It is engineered as a direct replacement for OE-style fitment and is designed around the factory serpentine belt layout. The balancer’s rubber bond helps manage torsional vibration from the crankshaft, while the ductile steel body supports durability under engine load. Degree markings are included for timing reference during service, and the keyway helps maintain correct alignment during installation. This part cross-references Hyundai/Kia OE number 231242GGA0 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Engine vibration caused by a worn or separated balancer
• Crankshaft harmonic issues that can affect smooth operation
• Timing reference visibility during service work
• Wear related to aging rubber bond or damaged pulley surfaces
• Fitment concerns when replacing an OE-style balancer on Hyundai and Kia engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify crankshaft dimensions, pulley groove count, and keyway alignment before installation. Use the degree markings as a reference during timing-related service, and confirm the serpentine belt tracks correctly across the 9-groove pulley. Because the center bolt and washer are not included, reuse or source the correct fasteners separately as required by the vehicle service procedure. Confirm application details for your Hyundai Santa Fe, Tucson, Sonata, Veloster, or Kia Sportage, Stinger, and Sorento before installation.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures this harmonic balancer as a direct replacement component with materials selected for strength and vibration control. The ductile steel construction and bonded rubber design support consistent service performance in OE-style applications.
