i was just driving home from the gym, and at a stop sign, i heard a clunk and then my alt and ps and ac all stopped working.

i pop the hood on the street and see the belt fell off.
come home the pulley is just sitting in the splash guard and the bolt holding it SNAPPED IN HALF

yay
2.5 hours later i got the bolt out

don't you guys have upgraded balancers available? or is this a design flaw?

[igo4bmx]

Maybe your car is getting mad at you for being stronger then it. :help:

Same for me, except it was my harmonic balancer. I saw it was starting to crack a bit and come apart so i just went out and bought a new one before it broke on me.

harmonic balancers suck. Luckily I caught the one on my car going bad (seperation). Expensive little ****s.

Was it making any noise before??I'm guessing it came loose for alittle while and from the pulley being squirley broke the bolt.
