Anyone know?

The crankshaft front hub/harmonic damper (aka, "balancer") is included with the crankshaft and flywheel in the process of balancing the crankshaft. Hence, those three pieces constitute a unique set. If a replacement front hub is to be installed, its balance must be matched to that of the hub being replaced.
