By providing the balance shaft with a tough, low friction home, the Pontiac Vibe Balance Shaft Bearing Set ensures silky engine operation and cuts vibration before it can travel through the chassis. This Balance Shaft Bearing Set is designed to sit in precision-machined bores that have a thin oil film to reduce wear while aiding fuel efficiency and reducing cabin noise. The Balance Shaft Bearing Set is compatible with the original 1.8L, the sporty GT six speed, or the later 2.4L AWD upgrade. All versions share the same clearances throughout the Pontiac compact range. The Balance Shaft Bearing Set is formed in either a bi-metal or a tri-metal design featuring a copper core and a lead tin overlay. This gives the part the strength to resist scoring during high rev blasts without the increased weight. The Balance Shaft Bearing Set is machined with a slight factory set crush that allows it to lock when cap torque is applied. This preserves the crucial one to three thousandths of an inch clearance, which allows pressurized oil to flow through and cool the shafts. That precision allows every Pontiac powerplant, from daily commuter Vibe wagons to weekend GT performers, to run smoother and safer for longer miles. By reducing torsional shake, the Balance Shaft Bearing Set takes stress off mounts, belts, and other ancillary systems. As a result, the risk of unexpected failures is lowered. Thus, the Vibe reputation of having durable reliability is supported. Motorists will furthermore observe a substantial increase in mileage because the Balance Shaft Bearing Set decreases drag; consequently, the Pontiac engine can spin freely and consume less fuel in urban stop-and-go traffic as well as highway cruising. The Balance Shaft Bearing Set installs easily without custom fitting and is made to exact OEM tolerances. It fits all production years, so a 2003 Pontiac Vibe owner or the final year 2010 Pontiac Vibe owner can expect the same boost in refinement.
