In Jeep Cherokee models, the Harmonic Balancer plays a significant role as it maintains the balance of the engine while at the same time absorbing the vibrations resulting from the cycles of combustion. This is a common assembly, known as a vibration damper, where there is a metal hub connected to crankshaft, surrounded by an inertial ring that is part metallic and the second one which is a rubber ring that act in an opposite manner to oscillating forces. Periodically due to heat and other environmental factors rubber wears out and if the balancer goes bad it can damage crank shaft. Jeep Cherokee models have incorporated various types of Harmonic Balancers the original equipment one and the performance models meant for modified engines. Whereas the standard balancers can mostly work in factory settings, the performance balancers are designed to accommodate higher vibrations and RPM levels for protection of the engines from high levels of vibrations. These include the traditional, viscous fluid, and the multi-piece tunable performance options, all that have been tried and trusted for safety and reliability.
