Toyota Camry Engine Balance Shafts

The engine configuration affects the weight distribution and the response of engine components to the inertial forces produced during combustion. The pulsating motion of the pistons and momentum created by the connecting rods are balanced in V-type and flat engines, while in asymmetrical engines, such as inline 4 cylinder motors, a balancing system is required. The larger the pistons are, the greater vibrations are generated. A balance shaft is a mechanical device used to counteract these tremendous forces. Basically, it is an eccentric weighted shaft which balances the crankshaft of your Toyota Camry.

A good condition of the balance shaft is vital for the proper running of your engine.
