Is there anyway this may >be due to mistreatment (valet) or was it just wear n' tear? Unless the valet parker is hammering around under the hood with heavy tools, it is unlikely that he/she/they cause the crack. Sounds more like defective materials were used in the manufacturing of the balancer itself. Question: Did you see the balancer after it was replaced? I have never seen one that made any noise or had cracked. Who knows, maybe I have something to watch for on the Saab? -- "Of what service would militia be to you, when most probably you will not have a single musket in the State; for as arms are to be provided by Congress, they may or may not furnish them?" -Patrick Henry, 5 June 1788
