Check the index lines (A) in the vibration damper hub (B) and the inertia member (C). If the lines are more than 1.59 mm [1/16 in] out of alignment, replace the vibration damper.
Inspect the rubber member for deterioration. If pieces of rubber are missing or if the elastic member is more than 3.18 mm [1/8 in] below the metal surface, replace the damper.
Look for forward movement of the damper ring on the hub. Replace the vibration damper if any movement is detected.
For vibration damper location, refer to Engine Diagrams in Engine Identification
(Section E).
