The balance shaft belt works in conjunction with the crankshaft to keep balance shaft weights correctly positioned, reducing unwanted engine vibration. A stretched or worn balance shaft belt can cause incorrect balance shaft timing, leading to noticeable vibration and potential engine damage. When replacing the balance shaft belt, Cloyes recommends also replacing the belt tensioner and idler to ensure full system stability and accurate timing.
