BALANCE SHAFTS AND CARRIER ASSEMBLY
DESCRIPTION
The 2.4L engine is equipped with two nodular cast iron balance shafts installed in a cast aluminum carrier attached to the lower cylinder block (Fig.

OPERATION
The balance shafts are driven by the crankshaft via a roller chain and sprockets. The balance shafts are connected by helical gears. The dual counter
rotating shafts decrease second order vertical shaking forces caused by component movement.
