By timing the operation of two counter-rotating shafts, the Oldsmobile Alero Balance Shaft Gear prevents vibrations from coming to the steering wheel, thus calming the engine. Housed in the block, the Balance Shaft Gear engages the crank and spins weighted shafts which smooth each 180-degree firing pulse. As a result, any four-cylinder powered Alero practically seems like a larger car, free of buzz when starting in the city and cruising on the highway. The Balance Shaft Gear also boosts efficiency, as energy that applied to be dissipated shaking parts now goes into the wheels. A steady powerplant also underpins safety, with braking and steering systems operating without the micro shudders that can disturb wet-road grip. Compatibility stands out since every model year of the Oldsmobile Alero uses the same Balance Shaft Gear. As a result, owners need not worry about confusing part numbers. Also, from GX sedans to spirited GLS coupes, uniform refinement prevails. The optional 3.4-liter V6 engine also uses the factory spec Balance Shaft Gear, making stocking easy for Alero owners. The gear, which is heat-treated steel and has splash lubrication, normally lasts alongside the crank for hundreds of thousands of miles. Traveling from idle to redline is smooth because the Balance Shaft Gear never disengages. Plus, the service intervals are a cinch. In a cramped small-car sector, the Oldsmobile Alero gains a luxury-like finesse courtesy of this hidden driveline hero, showing how Oldsmobile turned clever mechanical balance into everyday comfort. Select authentic Oldsmobile quality and allow your Alero to take advantage of the solid Balance Shaft Gear that keeps every Oldsmobile ride balanced, refined, and confidently quiet.
