balancer coming apart

When you consider it's a Pro Race OEM replacement balancer then, it's not "cheap" is it?
If it failed from daily driving , then it's a POS. If it's been getting some revs then you run the risk of it failing. Sometimes the bonding process has a hickup. Made in Australia , so I guess it could just be a POS....

111.00 for a balancer is cheap.
The piece of **** part it earned all by itself.
Stock balancers fared much better for years.......but they aren't 111.00 new either.
Whether it's the bonding or the design or the construction , the end result is no bueno.
When looking for a bargain , I stick to things like free air for the tires.
Vital engine parts get a little more attention.
And I feel bad for the O.P. , as it wasn't his doing that made this mess.
Hopefully , a decent balancer is all it needs.
