balance shaft belt question

Corrected post, so my balance shaft belt was replaced 10,000 Miles ago and looks good and I have replaced the waterpump today and have a spare new mitsu timing belt which I'm gonna put on since I have it. Was just wondering since balance shaft belt looks good should I replace it.and I don't like the balance shaft removal not a big fan of the vibration.

Umm. I recommend you repost your question with more emphasis on english. Do you speak it?

It sounds like you are asking if you should replace your balance shaft belt since you are apprently replacing your water pump and timing belt? My first recommendation would be to remove your balance shafts, thus negating the need for a belt. However, since I suspect you are not quite at that level of capability, I suggest you also replace the balance shaft belt, for peace of mind since you will already be in there.

Not a big fan of the vibration? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif Both my cars have deleted balance shafts. I feel no difference. Srsly.

I would go ahead and replace it since you're replacing everything else. You're already in there...may as well. If you're in a crunch and need the car running and have to wait and order a BS belt, then don't worry about it. Just make a note somewhere so you know the BS belt is 10k older than the timing belt.

I just did the BS removal on my car. I was afraid when I started it, the steering wheel would feel like a old Toyota truck or something. It's still really smooth. Maybe a touch more vibration, but not enough to complain about. I'm actually one of the picky guys on this forum. While some have drag cars and cars more built for race, I went more for sport touring. I'm picky about the clutch not being too heavy, the ride being smooth. So, if the vibrations were annoying, it would bug me, but it's still really smooth.
