DID YOU KNOW that 1/4oz. 4” from the center of a part rotating at 8000 RPM will cause a force of 114 pounds! This damaging force can be controlled by getting your parts balanced through Northern Auto Parts. Any rotating assembly in your drivetrain can benefit from balancing, it makes your entire engine more efficient!
