I'm working on a '96 Subaru Impreza with the 2.2 EJ22, the rubber on the balancer was cracked and it'd been wobbling so I'm going to replace it as well as doing the timing and water pump.
I picked up a decent looking balancer from the junkyard from a '97 outback (I think) with an ej22.
These should be the same parts, right?
They look very similar however I don't remember the old one having any "holes" on the front face (like these, however this isn't my picture)
Unfortunately I don't have the old balancer to compare anymore.
basically, will a balancer from a '97 legacy fit a '96 impreza?
Any input?
