What is the main function of balance shaft bearings?

Balance shaft bearings support the balance shafts, which are designed to counteract the natural vibrations produced by an engine's rotating and reciprocating components. By reducing these vibrations, they contribute to a smoother running engine.

When should balance shaft bearings be replaced?

These bearings are typically replaced during an engine rebuild or overhaul. If you are experiencing excessive engine vibration or noise that may be related to the balance shaft system, it's a good time to consider replacement.

Does this bearing set come with installation hardware?

This listing is for the balance shaft bearing set only. Installation hardware, if required, is typically sold separately. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for a complete list of necessary parts.
